Bill Freppon

                G David Schwartz    

 

 

 

Bill was a good man      

a true believer and a business man

He did a lot good                             

 Even if misunderstood                                                                                             

A leader is a wrestless place 

A winner with a straight face

Linda Lindsay                            

                G David Schwartz    

 

What can I say                                                                                                                                                                        

You are so sweet and nice                                                                                                                                                          

A nurse with a sense of humor                                                                                                                                                             

And wisdom downs your eyes

Not that that is so rare          

 But you use it often                                                                                                                                                               

And sometimes curly my hair 

Linda Lindsay                                                                                                                                                                             

How does it  go                                                                                                                                                                                      

Do you think about me                                                                                                                                 

When I don't know

Linda sweet Linda                                                                                                                                                                     

You are so nice                                                                                                                                                                            

I really like you                                                                                                                                                                                      

    And  I don't lie

There is truly only one reason                                                                                                   

That I don't fib         

It is really simply and true       

I never remember what I have said   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Uncle Joe and Aunt Madeline

                G David Schwartz    

 

 

 

From wisdom to charity    

There stands Madelyn and Joe            

We shall remember you both                                                                                            

   thought the wind and snow
