IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Frank J. Serra

  April 17, 1920 -

November 14, 2009

When I must leave you for a
little while, please do not
grieve and hug your sorrow
to you through the years.
But start out bravely with
a gallant smile; and for my
sake, and in my name, live on
and do all things the same.
Feed not your loneliness on
empty days, but fill each
waking hour in useful ways.
Reach out your hand in comfort
and in cheer and I in turn
will comfort you and hold
you near; and never, never
be afraid to die, for I am
waiting for you in the sky!
