In Memoriam
HAMPTON, Richard John — In loving memory of my dearest husband, passed away May 17. 1988.
This is a day of sad regret, A day of my lite I'll never forget, A million tears I have cried, Because I did not say goodbye. The memories you have left behind. Will last a lifetime. Unseen, unheard, but ever near. The man I loved and held so dear. My heart still aches with sadness. But I know we’ll meet again some day. And when my time on earth Is done, I know that you will come, And hand in hand will wander. Perhaps through the promised land. —Your loving wife, Mataara. HAMPTON, Richard John — God in heaven, hear my prayer, look after my dad, with special care, be a good Shepherd, do not leave him alone, for this Is his first year away from home, so treasure him Lord, In your garden of rest, when he was on earth, he was one of the best. — Dearly loved and sadly missed, from his loving daughter Christine and family. HAMPTON, Richard John — A year ago you left our lives, Our hearts were filled with sorrow, But like the blueness of the sky.
