In Memoriam
In loving memory of our dear
mother, Mrs. Nettie Fancher, who
passed away November 28, 1948:
One year of silent sorrow
One year of grief and pain
Our hearts are sad and lonely
Since you went to your new home.
We miss you, how we miss you
But God called and you must go
Your place here never can be filled
For dear mother we loved you so.
Loving and kind in all your ways
Upright and just to the end of your
days
Sincere and true in heart and mind
A beautiful memory you left behind.
