You are gone, but not forgotten,
Fresh our love will ever be,
For as long as there is life and memory
We will always think OF thee.
God called you home. it was His will.
But in our hearts we love you still;
Your memory is as dear today,
As in the hour you passed away.
We loved you. dear, with all our heart
But Jesus loved you best:
He took you from this sinful world,
To set your soul at rest.
1t was so hard to part with you,
So hard to have YOU die;
But we hope some day to meet you,
Some sweet day bye and bye.
We cannot forget you. dear mother,
While in this world we stay;
Only God knows our feelings,
Since you have passed away.
'Tis hard to break the tender cord.
When love has bound the heart;
IT'S hard, so hard, to speak the words,
Must we forever part?"
We would Sacrif1ce all pleasure,
Endure all pain,
II we could only clasp you
In our arms again.

A MOTHER FINDS REST.
Who's love can equal the love of a mother
Who suffers so much with such Joy fol
Who works with such pleasure as mothe,
for you?
You hail with delight the friendship Of
You reyel in love Of the sweetheart
you've won
Yet where do you fnd friendship lik,
Unbroken till death calls and life's worl
is done?
You don't know the sorrow to be left alone
Till God sends the message to your home
Tis sad when He calls for one or the other
But the saddest Of all is when God CALI

If he asked us, well, you know,
We would have said, oh, spare the blow,
And with tear-dimmed eyes and broker

GREEN, JOANNE. In memory Of ou
dea- little daughter, JOANNE GREEN, wht
passed away suddenly one year ago today
November 20. 1943.
Today recalls memory
OF loved one laid to rest.
And those who think of her today
Are the ones who loved her best.
ofttimes our thoushts go wandering
To the grave not far away,
Where lies the sweetest memory
That will never fade away.
The blow was heavy. the shock severe.
We little thought that death was near
But only those who have lost can tell
The pain OF parting without farewell.
Oft to our hearts comes bitter cry,
Why, oh. why did our darling die?"
Then comes the answer, SO soft and sweet
She Is not dead, she is only asleep"

One year has passed since that sad day
The one we loved was called away:
God took her home, 1t was His will,
But in our hearts she liveth still.
Memories are treasures no one can steal
Parting leaves heartaches no one car
heal
Till memory fades and life departs,
You will live forever in our hearts
