In loving remembrance of our dear sor
Orval c. Flower, who departed this life
two years ago today. Dec. l6, 1918.
You are resting in peace, dear son,
Two sad years have passed away:
You are gone, but not forgotten,
AS we think of you each day.
Sleep on. dear son, and sweetly rest,
We loved you, but God knew best,
Gods will be done, He doeth WE'LL
But how we miss you no tongue can tell
Two years have passed
Since we saw your dear face.
And heard your sweet voice,
In our home circle place.
And we wait in tears,
In devotion and love,
Until we meet you with Jesus
In heaven above.
