IN MEMORIAM 

  In loving memory of our dear mother, Mrs. Sarah F. Branche [sic; Branch], 
who died July 2, 1934. 

Just how much we miss you mother, 
No one but God can understand; 
And we hope to meet you some day, 
In that home so Heavenly grand. 

Some may think we are not lonely, 
When at times they see us smile; 
But they do not know the heartaches, 
That we suffer all the while. 
              Her devoted children.
