IN MEMORY

Tho our darlings, Blanche and
little Jerry had been taken away
We know that they were ready and
God waits for them up there
But it is so hard to give them up,
our hearts are full of pain
But darling, you have always been
so thoughtful and so kind
And everywhere we go are the
paths we used to tread.
The beautiful memories you have
left us as we grew up through the years
Shall be our biggest treasure,
dear, through all our remaining years
You have always been beside us
whenever we were in need
It's going to be lonely in our that
our darlings have gone ahead.
But some day we shall all be to-
gether again and we shall know no sorrow there.
So dear Blanche and little Jerry,
we will try to do the things you left for us to do.
And try to comfort ourselves with The thought that God up in heaven knows how wonderful You are.

CARD OF THANKS

We wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who were so kind and helpful during the time of our deep sorrow in the loss of our beloved Blanche and little Jerry. Truly, friends thru a time of trouble are more deeply appreciated than words can express. Our heartfelt thanks, too, for the beautiful floral offering.
Two loving hearts from us are gone, two gentle voices stilled; there's places vacant in our home which never can be filled. But tho our eyes are dimned with tears, and hearts are torn with pain, we leave them in the Savior's care. Our loss is heavens gain
