Fredrick Joseph Taylor

Your presence we miss
Your memories we treasure
Remembering you always
Forgetting you never
This was chosen by Mum (Laurel) - it will be in the Wilcannia News this week.
I suggested we use the word 'memories' instead of memory because I thought as he was always remembering stuff from the past and telling us - SO we would be treasuring his memories.

The Dogs Lament
Farewell Fred Taylor
Farewell to my old mate
All the dogs of Alma Park
Will be howling at the gate
They will miss the way you drove them ‘round
To oversee the places
Bouncing around in that old ute
Boy, you should have seen their faces
They’ll miss you in the mornings
They’ll miss you every night
They’ll miss you at shearing time
They’ll know that things aren’t right
What’ll they do know you’ve gone
When you don’t come to the gate
Why, they’ll lie in the sun and dream
‘bout Fred Taylor, their old mate

I just thought it fittig to re-run the old verse. Hopefully all the dogs are being cared for properly!!!
RIP Uncle Fred.
