A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.

God in his wisdom, has recalled,
The boon his love had given,
And though his body slumbers here,
His soul is safe in Heaven.

We wish to take this means of expressing our heartfelt thanks to the many friends for the words of sympathy, kind deeds and floral offerings at the time of our recent bereavement.
Mr. and Mrs. Orie L. Conboy, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Talbert, William and Leslie Conboy and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Moller.
