DANT, who departed this life one year ago
today, October II. 1919. Anniversary mass
at st. DOminic's Church. :
At the bedside of our dear mother.
Night by night and day by day
We watched her loving hands grow thinner
And saw her slowly fade away
We tried so hard to keep her with US.
But God wiled that she should GO
So we yielded to the parting.
Though it filled our hearts with Woe.
Her eyes are closed that looked on life
Through mists of pain and tears.
But God has opened Them above
To smile through endless years.
She wore crown of patience
Through the years she struggled on;
Those hands that rest forever
Are the hands that made our home.
The dear one now is sleeping,
No care is on her brow.
Oh blame not for weeping,
For we have no mother now.
HER LOVING DAUGHTERS.
We miss you, dear grandma, but God knew
best:
He knew you were tired and needed rest.
But when earth we breathe no more,
Wen meet you on that heavenly shore.
God needed a sweet rosebud
To bloom in His garden fair.
So he took our darling grandma
And transpanted her over there:
HER LOVING GRANDCHILDREN, ELLEN
AND IRWIN DONALDSON.
DRAKE. In sad but loving remembrance Of
our dear husband and father. Private AL

1t is sweet to know We will meet again
Where parting is no more.
And that the one loved SO dearly
Has only gone before.
4 happy home l once enjoyed.
How sweet the memory still:
But death has left a vacant chair
This world can never fill.
From this world of pain and sorrow
To land of peace and rest
God has taken my dear one,
Where he has found eternal rest.

We often sit and think of you,
When all alone
For memory Is the only friend
That grief can call it's own
Days Of sadness still come ever us,
Secret tears do often flow.
But memory keeps You ever near u.s.
Though you died two years ago.
