Farewell! Dear friends.

God calls me and I cannot stay

Dear partner of my wedded life.

Companion of my joys and tears,

Farewell until your summon calls

Where we meet in eternity

Where there is no sin or pain.

We’ll meet again where parting is unknown:

Before our Heavenly Father’s Throne.



A Friend



Additional Comments:
The 1918 flu pandemic or “Spanish flu” was caused by an unusually severe and 

deadly Influenza A virus strain infecting one fifth of the world’s population 

making it the most devastating epidemic in recorded world history.
