In loving memory of our beloved mother Ida R. Barr who passed away 20 years ago, May 30, 2006.

Midnight stars gleaming on a lonely grave

Where sleeping, but not dreaming,

Lies the one we could not save.

In dreams we see her dear sweet face

And kiss her cold, cold brow,

And whisper as we loved her then,

We love her memory now.

We think of her in silence,

No eyes can see us weep,

But still within our aching hearts

Her memory we shall keep.

She bade none a last farewell,

She said goodbye to none,

The heavenly gates had opened,

A lovely voice said, “Come.”

And with farewell unspoken

She gently entered home.

Our dear mother sleeps in silence,

We'd not disturb her rest.

Sad and lonely are the hearts

Of those who loved her best.

Sadly missed by,

son Larry,

Bella, Daisy and Bear
