Your gentle fape and
smile
With sadness I recall,
You had a kindly word
each
And died beloved by all.
The voice is mute and fit lied
the heart
That loved me well and true;
Ah, bitter was the trial to part
From one so good as you.
You are not forgotten, loved
one,
Nor will you ever be
As long as life and memory
last.
I will remember thee.
I miss you now, my heart Is
sore.
As time goes by I miss you
more;
Your loving smile, your gentle
one’can face
No fill your vacant

Your loving wife,

CONNOR-In lov.r.g
of our dear father,
, NOAH C.
, who passed away February 3.
1949.
Today our hearts are heavy.
Our thoughts are all of thee,
Oh how we miss you, father
dear,
None but God in heaven can
see.
Some say time 'heals an aching
heart.
But no, it isn’t true,
For one long year has passed,
dear,
And my heart still aches for
you.
We do not forget you, nor do
we intend,
We th.nk of you often, and
will to the end.
Gone and forgotten by some
you may be,
But, dear, to our memory you
ever will be.
The world may change from
year to year
And friends from day to day,
But never will the tne we
loved
From memory pass away.
We are sad with our memory,
Lonely are our hearts today.
For the one we loved so dearly
(Has forever been called away.
We think of h m in silence,
No eyes may see us weep,
But many silent tears are shed
When others are asleep.
The rolling stream of life roll^
on.
But stiil the vacant chair
Recalls the love, the voice, the
smile
Of one who once sat there.
Your loving children.
