RALSTON Remembering Our Dear Wife and Mother

In loving memory of my dear wife who passed away on 2 June 1928. You lived gently for us, and when we think of you, dear mam, how could we not remember. Deep in our hearts there is a picture of our dear mother gone to rest. In memory's frame we keep her, for she was one of the best. Two little words not hard to write, but two we'll remember all our life, our mother. Inserted by her loving husband and daughter.
