In Memoriam
In loving memory of our mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth Parrish, who passed
away four years ago, March 9, 1944:
The name of mother brings to us
Many a precious memory
Of one whose loving smile
Cheered and made each day worth
while.
One who comforted us—and cared
And in our gladness always shared.
Truest friend I’ve ever known
The mother that wTe called our own.
Sadly missed by
Her Children.
