Oh, Ron Replogle, you were so kind,
You read to me because I'm half blind,
I will miss you as a friend,
I never dreamed that it would end.

But you were sick and had to die,
I'll not forget you as time goes by,
I hope we'll meet again on that grand day
When all sickness and death have passed away.

Then people will be young again,
And we will all be God's friend,
And live forever on a Paradise earth,
Then we'll know what real life is worth.
