DEED.-In . cherished memory of my beloved fiancee, Flt.-Sgt. Cyril Keith Deed, killed in action over Holland, December 24, 1944. Greater love hath no man than this, That he lay down his life for a friend.
They said that time would heal my pain
And teach me to forget,
But time has only taught me, dear,
How much I miss you yet.
