In Loving Memory of Our Grandmother Mrs Herder
In loving memory of our dear grandmother Mrs There is in Herder who died July 28, 1940 at 82. One year since you left us, lonely hearts today. For the one we loved so dearly has forever passed away.

The flowers on her grave may fade, but love remains. Written by her grandchildren.
