CARD of THANKS

Although the following words were not original with me, it expresses what is in the Campbells' hearts.

"Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
Or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent a funeral spray,
If so we saw it there.

Perhaps you spoke the kindest words,
As any friend could say;
Perhaps you were not there at all,
Just thought of us that day.

Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so much whatever the part."

From the hearts of the Michael Campbell Family
