In loving memory Of Martha
Boyd, who passed away four
years ago December II, 1946.
You could not say goodbye to US
You could not clasp our hand
But God has taken the one we

Off to his realms so grand
What would we give to clasp
her hand,
Her happy face to see
To hear her voice and see her

That meant so much to US
