IN MEMORIAM
One place is left vacant and lonely.
A void that can never be filled.
Our home is so dreary and cheerless,
Since that loved voice within is now stilled.
My dearest beloved has passed onward;
Where sadness no more has a part.
"O, Why must it by thus," I cry, "Lord"?
From the depths of a crushed broken heart.
Then softly a voice seems to sooth me;
"Dear heart, I am with alway:
I never will leave or forsake you,
Lean upon me, I'll lead all the way."
Dear Charlie has only passed onward
To receive that glad plaudit, "Well Done."
While in memory sweet, he's still with me.
Altho' the dear form is now gone.
He is now with his own blessed Jesus,
His sweet, cheering smile waits there;
I know we will be reunited,
In that world free from sorrow care.
--In loving rememberence
(Wife)
CARD OF THANKS
I wish to express my most heartfelt thanks to each and everyone of the dear neighbors and friends who were so kind and good in the hour of my great sorrow in the loss of my dear husband.
Also for the kind expressions of their sympathy and the lovely floral offerings.
His loving companion Mrs. Grace N. Danford.
