The grief of sudden tragedy, Is poignant as can be, And all I can offer you, Is friendly sympathy. But my Condolence really comes, Directly from the heart, Because I know, how sad it is, When loved ones have to part. I know you will be lonely as, The days and nights go by, And there will be a Thousand tears, That you will want to cry . And yet we must remember that, There is a will Divine, And we may never question it, Or fathom God's design, And so I grieve with you Today, And say a fervent prayer, That God's will bless and always keep, Claude in His care.
