In Memoriam for Thomas P Towers and Dear Mother
In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband Thomas P Towers who died nine years ago May 30 1919 The days are lonely But it will not be long Till I shall join you dear husband In that heavenly home In our hearts your memory lingers Sweetly tender fond and true There is not a day dear mother That we do not think of you You brought us so much sunshine Cheered our thoughts through dark est days Making earth seem like Heaven By your many loving ways Before our eyes she faded Growing weaker every day Doing all we could to save her Until God took her away
