In memory of our dear mother
who passed away June 81, l947
one year ago.
Today brings sad memories of a
Loved one gone to rest
She will never be forgotten by
Those who loved her best
The flowers we placed upon her
grave
May wither and decay
But the love for her who
Sleeps beneath shall never fade
away.
Friends may think we have for
gotten
When at times they see us smile
But they little know the heartache
Our smiles hide all the while
We often sit and think of her
When we are all alone
For a memory is the only thing
That keeps us brave and strong
Her weary hours and days of pain
Her troubled nights are past
And in her aching heart we know
She has found sweet rest at last.
