In Memoriam Walter G Cleghon Remembrance Message
In remembrance of my dear husband Walter G Cleghon who passed away June 4 1940 four years ago today. Sad and sudden was the call of one so dearly loved by us all. A bitter grief it was to part with one we loved. I often sit and think of you and speak of how you died. To think you couldn't say bye before you closed your loving eyes. O God grant you eternal rest. The sweetest love forever lingers around your grave.
