Dorothy Letcher (née Hoare)

Think of me as one at rest
for me you should not weep,
I have no pain no

troubled thoughts for

I am just asleep.
The living thinking me

that was, is now

forever still.
And life goes on without

me as time forever will.
If your heart is heavy

now because I’ve gone away,

dwell not long upon it

friend for none of 

us can stay.
Those of you who liked me

I sincerely thank you all,

and those of you who loved me

 I thank you most of all.
