| ~ IN LOVING MEMORY OF LEVI McGOWAN, SR ~ |
| One I loved so dear is gone; His cherished voice is stilled. His place is vacant in our home, And never can be filled. But God will keep me in His care, And all my lonely hours He'll share. Until the day I reach that shore, Where death and parting are no more. Written by your loving wife Nora M. McGowan ~ She lived on until 1999, and would have been 102 years old that year on her birthday ~ THANKS TO BRENDA WOOLARD FOR FINDING THIS POEM, THAT WAS GIVEN TO HER BY HER MOTHER, VERNA MAE. |
