in memoriam

April 25th 1918 - August 31st 1981

On her Fortieth Anniversary

Mama so precious, the love of Pa's life

Always in mind as perfect parent, cherished wife

Resting too soon these 40 years

God called you before your peers

Assuming your values these decades past

Remember us, we'll all reunite we trust

Endearing Ma bless us from beyond

Timeless our ties, forever our bond
