Obituary

BOYLE, David Samuel

1941- 2010

In tears we saw you sinking

We watched you fade away

Our Hearts were almost broken

You fought so hard to stay

But when we saw you sleeping

So peacefully from pain

We could not wish you back again

To suffer that pain

May the road rise to meet you

May the wind always be at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face

The rains fall soft upon your fields

And until we meet again

May God hold you in the palm of his hand
