IN MEMORIAM
In memory of my dear sister,
Grace G. Ward, who died Febru
ary 6, 1959.
A precious one from us has gone.
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our hearts
That never can be filled.
Friends may think we soon forgot
And our wounded hearts are healed
But they little know the sorrow,
That lies within our hearts con
cealed.
Never will we forget you,
Never will your memory fade.
Fondest hopes will always linger,
Around your quiet and peaceful
grave.
