To ench that loving remembrance of our wife and mother Mary W Carroll who died May 2nd 1919 One year has passed our hearts are safe As time flies on we miss her more She sleeps we leave her in peace to rest The parting was painful but God knows best We often sit and think of her When we are all alone For memory is the only thing That grief can call its own Into sweet rest she has entered No more to suffer or weep She is smiling upon us from Heaven Our loved one has fallen asleep Sleep on dear one and take your rest God called you home He thought it best He saw your suffering here so great And opened wide the pearly gate By her loving husband and children
