A loving one from us is gone, 
A voice we love is still. 
A place is vacant in our home, 
Which never can be filled; 
God in his Wisdom has recalled, 
The boom [sic; boon] his love is given, 
And though the body slumbers here 
The soul is safe in Heaven. 

Darling, dear we miss you. 
Miss you now and forever more, 
On the ever lasting shore. 
But we hope again to meet you 

In loving Remembrance of Meedy Ann Gay, Born February 11, 1898, 
Died December 29 [sic; 30], 1932, age 34. 
Gone but not forgotten.
