Donna Mae Clary-Barmes
8 May 1924 – 27 June 1992
Missing my Grandma Donna who passed away twenty-eight years ago, today, at 2:30 PM.
From this valley they say you are leaving
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For you take with you all of the sunshine
That has brightened our pathway a whileThen come sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the boy that has loved you so true
For a long time, my darlin’, I’ve waited
For the sweet words you never would say
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished
For they say that you’re going awayThen come sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the boy that has loved you so true
