Lillian Fae Franks
My precious darling baby
Who we all adored
And we know she was so happy,
As she played around the door.
She loved her little playmates
With a little heart so true
And believed in Jesus
As we all should do.
Soon the fifth day of May
As the sun was shining bright
Jesus sent his angels
To carry our baby back.
She is now in Heaven
We know she is there to dwell
And a place is vacant in our hearts
Which never can be filled.
Although we could walk all
through the World
And knock on every door
But never could find a darling baby
That we could love any more.
The eight years we had her with us
She meant the world to me
But in death she had to leave us
And in Jesus we hope to see.
We know she had to leave us
And knew it from the start
But when we had to give her up
It almost broke our hearts.
But we know she is with Jesus,
Our grief will try to bear
And live a better life
So we can meet our darling baby
there.
A Friend.

In
Memory of Little James A. Fullerton
The song has ended, but the memory lingers on, so it is in the
passing of �Our Little Boy,� as we always called him. He loved his
Sunday school songs, �Jesus Loves Me,� being one of his favorites.
His manly ways, friendly disposition, and cherry �hello� to his
friends, endeared him to young and old alike, and his young life,
taken in his innocence and purity will be greatly missed by all who
knew and loved him. The seven short years that God let us keep him
has indeed enriched our lives. God gives, God takes away.
His brave mother and dad to whom his last precious words were, �I
love you, daddy, and mother, too,� have a hope beyond the grave, and
assurance that �Our Little Boy� is safe in the arms of Jesus, whom
he loved.
Our Little Boy, in the afterglow,
In the long, long years, we�ll miss you so.
For loving you, when first we knew
That next to our heart your young life grew,
Loving you on into fair childhood
When you so little understood
Our Little Boy in this afterglow,
We are so glad we loved you so.
Our Little Boy in the afterglow,
Your dear, sweet voice we shall often hear
Words whose blissful cherished sound,
Shall echo to us the whole day round.
To us you shall always be young and fair,
With your bright eyes and golden brown hair,
We are glad you loved us so.
One who loved him, his cousin,
MOZELLE LESLIE.
