In Memoriam In Loving Memory Of DONALD A. ELDRIDGE March 12, 1933 Sept. 13, 1997 You went first and I remain to walk the road alone. I'll live in memories' garden, babe, with happy days we've known. In spring I'll wait for roses red when faded, the lilacs blue.

In early fall when the beautiful leaves fall, I'll catch a glimpse of you. You went first and I remain for battles to be fought. Everything you've touched along the way will be a hollowed spot. I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile tho blindly I may grope. The memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope.

You went first and I remain, there's one thing I want you to do; Walk slowly down that long, long path for soon I will follow you. I want to know each step you take so I may take the same, For someday down that long road you'll hear me call your name. Your loving wife and family In Memoriam In Loving Memory Of ALICE L. DORT Aug. 19, 1907 Sept.
