In Memoriam – Gillis ‘Git’ Francis

In Memoriam – Gillis ‘Git’ Francis

In loving memory of
Gillis ‘Git’ Francis
of Cane End, Mesopotamia
who departed this life on 20th December 2017
Sunrise: 14th July, 1949
Sunset: 20th December 2017

God saw you getting tired and cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you and whispered “come to me”
with tearful eyes we watched you
we watched you fade away
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands now rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best
Fondly remembered by his wife Eucille, children Hance, Kimone, J’var
grand children Kirtney and Kijón other relatives and friends
May his soul continue to rest in peace.
