In Memorial
In Memory of My Dear Husband Fred Phillippi Who Passed Away on February 28, 1961
Since you've gone first and I remain to walk the road alone,
I live in memories garden dear,
With happy days we've known.
Since you've gone first and I remain,
For battles to be fought,
Each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot.
I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile,
Though blindly I may grope --
The memory of your helping hand,
Will lead me on with hope.
Since you've gone first and I remain,
One thing I'll have to do;
Walk slowly down that long, long path,
For soon I'll follow you.
I want to know each step you take
So I may take the same,
For some day down that lonely road
You'll hear me call your name.
Your devoted wife, Beulah Phillippi

PHILLIPPI, Charles Frederick
