RICHARDSON IN MEMORIAM WISDON In memory of our dear grandma, Mrs. John Wisdon, who died November 9, 1923. Could we have raised her dying head Or heard her last farewell, The grief would not have seemed so hard, To those she loved so well. She suffered patiently and long, Her hope was bright, her faith was strong; The peace of Jesus filled her breast And in His arms she sank to rest. We can not say, we will not say, That she is dead, she is just away, With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand She has wandered into the other land.
