In Memoriam HEXTELL - In sad but loving memory our dear father who departed this life 17th July, 1928, aged 74 years, ‘Could we have been there at the hour of your death, To have caught the last sight of your fleeting breath, Your last faint whisper we might have heard, And breathed In your ear one loving word. Only those who have suffered are able to tell The pain at the heart of not saying farewell.’ Inserted by his sorrowing daughter and son-in-law (Leila and Walter Pitt) - Cudgegong.
