In Memoriam
In loving memory of our
dear mother, Cathryne G.
Hunt of Macon, N. C.
To mama, our first love,
On March 21st just two
years ago,
We knew you had to leave
us, but we hated to see
you go.
With your loved ones at
your bedside, and a
smile on your sweet face,
The Dear Lord sent his
angels down and took
you away.
We were heart broken but
we understood —
Our Dear Lord needed
your help now as we did
when we were young.
So, Mama, you and Daddy
are in our thoughts each
day —
We miss you and love you
more than words could
ever say.
Your Children,
MIRIAM, WALTER,
FRANCES AND BRUCE
In memory of my
beloved mother, Mrs. Effie
Richardson, who passed
away March 24, 1970.
"Beyond The Sunset"
Should you go first and
I remain, to walk the road
alone; I'll live in memories
garden dear, with happy
days we've known. In
spring I'll wait for roses
red, when faded, the lilacs
blue. In early fall, when
brown leaves fall, I'll catch
a glimpse of you.
Should you go first and
I remain for battles to be
fought, each thing you've
touched along the way, will
be a hallowed spot. I'll
hear your voice, I'll see
your smile though blindly I
will grope, the memory of
your helping hand, will
buoy me on with hope.
Should you go first and
I remain one thing I'll have
you do, walk slowly down
that long, long path, for
soon I will follow you. I
want to know each step you
take, so I may lake the
same, for some dii> down
that lonely road, you will
hear me call your name.
Your daughter,
