How do you say goodbye to someone you never thought you'ld have to?
  Our Dearest, Dearest George;
  Beautiful is the love,
  that we all share for you.
  Sweet are the memories,
  both the old and the new.

  Needy are we
  for your words and your touch,
  and for your comical wit
  that we all loved so much.

  That clown that you became
  when we all needed a break,
  made us laugh so hard
  that our sides would ache.

  Yet even as funny
  as only you could be,
  there also was a tender side
  you bared for all to see.

  With all of the worries
  you had that were known,
  you still took time to hear
  problems of our own.

  You could say so much
  with that gentle smile,
  and appease so many hearts
  in a gracious style.

  You showed how much you cared,
  by giving all your love.
  You surely were the Angel
  that we needed from above.

  Whether you were our Uncle,
  Our Father,Brother or dear friend,
  it'll certainly take time
  for all our hearts to mend.

  For a life that shines
  as brightly as yours,
  cannot be dimmed
  by the closing of doors.

  Your light is now eternal
  and will shine for years and years,
  those left behind
  will have to dry away our tears.

  We'll remember that funny clown
  whose simple words could cut through stone,
  and know that you'll be with us all
  and that you'll never be alone.

  We'll miss you,
  Loving You Forever
  and with all our hearts,
  Your Very loving Family

  written in memory of;
  George W. Prim
  who in his 53 short years of life,
  somehow left a piece of himself
  with all who knew him.
  We Thank You.
