Wife of William Charles Vrtis<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTo see him one last time
\nThe father of my husband
\nSuccumbed to the illness he could no longer fight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nWith his beautiful bride by his bed
\nAs she held his hand and called his name
\nSobbing tears she\u2019ll forever shed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nFrom around the world they came
\nTo say goodbye to him and bury their father
\nAnd to share each other\u2019s pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nStories of days gone by were told
\nA bit of laughter to remember
\nA lot of love to hold<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTo lay beside dear, sweet Sue
\nOn a beautiful, sunny day
\nThey gave him one last salute<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nEach went their separate way
\nTo bear their grief and to carry on
\nThe sons of a father great<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nWho echo the heartbeat of Tom
\nThe kind of men who make this country great
\nQuick of mind and voices strong<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThey will keep his memory, values and tradition alive
\nThrough the stories\u2026 the Rosary\u2026 the flag\u2026 the hoska and poppy seed\u2026
\nAnd with love and tears and laughter, let the world go by<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
