In loving remembrance of Mrs Geo W Towers
In loving remembrance of my dear mother Mrs Geo W Towers who departed this life two years ago January 12. Just two years of saddest longing for the smile that greeted me. It is veiled in that bright dawning where faith leads on to thee. When the wintry storms are over and spring comes I will kneel beside you and plant a flower there. In my heart your memory lingers sweetly tender fond and true. There is not a dog dear mother that I do not think of you. Though this world is full of trouble full of sorrow and pain yet to me it would seem like Heaven if you were only here again. Your loving daughter Lillian.
