In Memoriam
In memory of our dear father and
husband, Noah J. Basinger, who
passed away just one year ago today
on his birthday January 18, 1940.
No one heard the footsteps
Of the Angel drawing near.
Who took from earth to heaven,
The one we loved so dear.
No one knows the silent heartaches,
Only we who know can tell
Of the grief that’s born in silence
For the one we loved so well.
