In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother who departed September 27, 1922. A precious one from us has gone a voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home which never can be filled.

Dearest mother thou hast left us, and our loss we deeply feel, but it is God who has bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee in Heaven. By Her Children.
