Obituary was lovingly written by Albert’s family. Your Smile Though your smile is gone forever and your hand we cannot touch, Still we have so many memories of the one we loved so much. Your memory is our keepsake with which we will never part, God had you in His keeping we have you in our hearts. It is sad to walk the road alone, Instead of side by side. But to all there comes a moment, When the ways of life divide. You gave us years of happiness, then came sorrow & tears. But you left us beautiful memories, We will treasure through the years.
