"Good Old DAYS" We're Dull

IN NIEMORIAM

In sad memory of our beloved
mother and father, who passed away
four sad years ago:
Four years have passed since our
hearts were sad,
We feel we have lost the dearest ones
we had.
Their loving hearts have ceased to
to heat,
They bid us not to weep.
Their cheerful smiles and kind words
We think of each day.
We miss them more than any we re-
call;
They had kind words for every one
and died beloved by all.
Sadly missed by their children,
