Almer Haynes April 2, 1881- April 16, 1965

"We smile, but we smile through our weeping,
We sing but the sigh will find echo
In every refrain we employ
We cherish the sweetest of friendships
To find death steps in between;
But courage, dear heart, not forever
Will blossoms all fade by thy side;
Not here, but just over yonder
Life's strange disappointments will cause."
Robert Hare
