In Memoriam for Lawrence Albert Dennis
In loving remembrance of my dear son Lawrence Albert Dennis who departed this life fifteen years ago on March 14 1920. The sorrowful month recalls his loss as night veiled earth and sky. Though suffering you breathed not a murmur for the Comforter stood by your side and whispered fear not. While he lies in peaceful sleep memory endures and the pains of death are past with his soul found in peace by his mother and brother.
