In loving remembrance of Vera Marie
Ferguson, who was called from earth
Feb. l3, 1909
How we miss her bright smiles and
the sound of her sweet voice. But it
speaks to US yet, as it were, in tones
inaudible. How wildly we remember
the sweet face and lovable qualities
that endeared her to all. She is not
forgotten-the brilliant example of her
brief life will go on
Vera has grown more fair,
Vera is happier there,
For Jesus called her to share
His mansion of glory over there.
A LOVING FRIEND.
