(Memoriam)
SALMON, Lorna P. March 15, 1948 November 21, 1992 It's been fourteen years
since that cold November day Through dark lonely times, I somehow found my
way. From a far better place you've brightened the days, Watched over and
guided me, shown me the way. Many friends and family will pause to shed a
tear Unable to believe its been yet another year Everyone that knew you
loved you so much Anyone who had met you, their heart you did touch A gift
from above you left us too soon You are my Yellow Rose always in bloom The
warmth of your smile, the sparkle in your eyes Our memories are filled with
endless supplies I have not forgotten the foundation you've laid The lessons
you taught the sacrifices you made I hope you are proud of the man I've
become As proud as I am that I'm my mother's son You are always with me,
forever in my heart. Love Dan 317667
