Welcome to the Homepage of

Barry & Morna Sinclair
Just before her death Grandma Jane Sinclair wrote the following verse from a poem
by George Linnaeus Banks in her autograph book,

"I live for those that love me,
For those that know I am true
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my coming too,
For the cause that needs assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that I can do"
-signed J Sinclair Jan 8th 1910.

A footnote was added
"She lived an angels life doing good to all and left us in sorrow for ever."-signed W.J.Sinclair,Jan25th 1911,
"Christ take her in thy care" WJS/My loved wife Jane Sinclair.
