In loving memory of our beloved Ruth Bastyr who passed away four years ago today.

I thought of you with love today,

but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday,

and the days before that too.

I think of you in silence,

I often speak your name.

All I have are memories and

your picture in a frame.

Your precious memory is my keepsake,

with which I'll never part.

God has you in His keeping,

I have you in my heart.
