IN MSMORIAM VICTOR KUHARSKY IN REMEMBRANCE OF VICTOR As summer skies and fragrant flowers Appear now on the scene Our thoughts now rest upon a youth, A youth of just fifteen. He won the hearts of all his mates And held them to the end. His happy laugh and roguish eyes Endeared him as a friend. His mem’ry always will remain With those who don’t forget, We'll think about his carefree ways With sorrow and regret. Though swiftly every day may pass Our mem’ries won’t depart. We feel that he will always be Enshrined in every heart. —Eugene Martin —Cecelia Kakowski GENEVIEVE OAKLEY IN REMEMBRANCE OF GENEVIEVE Always in memory we’ll keep, Her sparkling eyes, her hair. Her gentle words and lovely smile, So good, so bright, so fair. A sweet heart-filling cheerfulness Like springtime of the year. Seemed ever on her radiant face Whenever she was near. When the bright autumn leaves shall come, And come they surely will. She'll be recalled from days long past By friends who love her still. —Ruth Sarasin
