In Loving Memory HERBERT J. BATES III March 19, 1975 – June 15, 1995 We grieve for you in silence And try so not to show But what it meant to lose you No one will ever know. You wished no one a farewell Or ever said good-bye. You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why. A golden heart stopped beating And you were laid to rest God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. Love, Mom Ivan and Doug Holly and Hillary
