What would we give Ver hand to clasp, Her patient face to see, To hear her voice, to see her smile, As in the days that used to be? But some sweet day we'll meet again Beyond the toil and strife, And clasp each other's- hand once more, Tn heaven, that happy life. Sadly missed by Her Family. In Memoriam MYERS In loving memory of my dear parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Myers, who passed away Dec. 28, 1942, and Dec. 23, 1928. They lived their lives and lived them veil, With always a smile whate'er befell; A cheery word they had for all, What a sweet memory to recall. Sadly missed Lr son, Sheldon. Every woniaan, in her heart, longs to have men refer to her as a "soul less flirt."
