HAMMETT, IRENE VIRGINIA [NOTHEY]
In loving remembrance of my dear mother, Irene Virginia Hammett, who departed this life one year ago today, July 4, 1946.
You cross the raging sea of time,
But left me in the storm;
The angry billows around me roll,
By faith I'm sailing on.
With only one last hope in view,
And this I know is true,
You never can return to me,
But I can come to you.
When the storms of life have ceased
And the mist has rolled away,
I'll fold this earthly tent of clay
And meet you some sweet day.
HER DEVOTED DAUGHTER, MARGARET [MARY HAMMETT YEAGER]
