IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of Eliza Mae
McQuinn who departed this life on
January 3, 1948 at Key West, Fla.
Days of sadness still come over us
Tears in silence often flow.
Memory keeps you ever near us,
Though you passed one year ago.
No one knows the silent heartaches
Only those who have lost can tell.
Os the grief now born in silence
For the one we love so well.
