In memory of my mother, Mrs. Jen-
ME Coverdale, who passed away Octo-
ber 28, 1850:
My memory often wanders as twi-
light shadows fan
Back to the days of happiness, far
beyond recall;
And vision comes before me so calm,
so dear, so sweet
OF her, whose lips are silent
Whose eyes are closed In sleep.
God called her first Now / remain
To walk this road alone
I'll walk In memory's garden, dear,
With happier days we've known
In spring I'll wait for roses red
When fades to lilacs blue.
In early fan when brown leaves fall
I'll catch a glimpse of her
We've had our cup of joy,
And memory is one gift of God
That death cannot destroy.
Sadly missed by daughter; Edith
Fisher Minicucci. 10-26-1t
