In memory of our dear mother,
Mrs. Mary A. Thompson who left
us one year ago today, Septem-
Der 20. 1947.
Today recalls sad memories
OF our loved one gone to rest.
Ard those who think of you today
Are those who loved you best.
The world may change from year
TO year
And friends from day to day,
But never will you whom we low
ed
from memory pass away
We think of you in silence
No one can see us weep.
Bur many silent tear is shed
When others are asleep.
Sadly missed by 2 sons, 2 daugh-
ters, 3 brothers, 2 sisters and a
host of friends and relatives.
