TURNER Sacred to the loving memory of 'lay dear little sou, Lennie, who died on Good Friday, April 3rd, 1596. Give him. O Lord, eternal rest. Amen We love him too well to forget. Over the river he waits for mc, My loved one who crossed to the further aide; The cleam of his snowy robe I see, Darhis voice is lost in the dashing tide. I see his hair of sunny gold. Aud pyes, the reflection of heaven's own biue. He crossed iv the twilight grey and cold, And the pale mist hid him from mortal view. 1 saw not the angels who met him there. The cates of the city I could not see; Yet somewhere. 1 know, on the unseen shore He waits and watches to welcsme mc. Inserted by his loving mother, _L Turner.
