Always that longing to see you again.
Your resting place I tend with care,
For part of me was buried there.
Inserted by his loving wife, Jean, 122 Montgomery Street, Irvine.

Many times I think of you,
And wonder why you died;
Many times I've longed for you
And many times I've cried.
No one knows my sorrow,
Few have seen me weep;
I've shed my tears with an aching heart
While others are asleep.
Inserted by his loving daughter, Margaret.

No more of your smile to welcome
And greet us at the door;
But we have happy memories
We will keep for evermore.
Inserted by his loving son, Don, and daughter-in-law.

Goodnight, Papa.
Inserted by his grandchildren.

We miss you, Jack, we always will,
You left a place no one can fill.
You fell asleep without goodbye,
But memories of you will never die.
Andy and Meg.
