Ida R. Barr

In loving memory of our beloved Ida R. Barr who passed away eight years ago today, 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 has opened

A lovely vioce 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.
