Sickness And Distress
Sickness and Distress
The Vacant Chair
We shall meet, but we shall miss them,
There will be the vacant chair,
But though we no more possess them,
Still our hearts their memory bear.
But a while ago we gathered,
Friendship beaming in each eye,
Now the golden cord is severed,
They have passed to realms on high.
Our heartfelt and sincerest condolences to their families and friends.
To all of our brothers and sisters and their families who are experiencing any stress or illness at this time, we wish you a speedy recovery.
