WWWWWWWWWWMiWW In memory of Katie Lee Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Johnson of North Wilktesboro, Route 3, who was killed In an automobile accident Sept. 12, 1948 and who is sadly mourned iby a father and mother, five sisters and six brothers: We miss our dear daughter Our love for her is great, And little had we dreamed She was soon to meet her fate. She left her, home smiling— This home we all adore, But soon someone came to tell us That she could live no more. Her loved ones now are waiting We sadly mourn her loss, But let us look to Jesus And bring our burdens to the cross. Her chair and room are vacant The voice we love is still, But sweet memories will linger As long as we may live. It hurts on Sunday morning When Lewis Church bell rings, For she was always there on time And helped the choir to sing. I know they, too, will miss her But some day by and by, We all will sing together • When we meet up in the sky. il feel that Katie Lee is resting In our Saviour's gentle love, For I'm sure there was a mansion Waiting for her there above.
