In loving memory of our dear mother, Mae Mills, who departed this life three years ago today, Jan. 15,1933. Dearest mother how we miss you, Even tho you are far away, Resting sweetly safe with Jesus, And there we would have you stay. When the twilight shadows gather, And we are sitting all alone, In our hearts there comes a longing, If only she could come home. But the time is short, Dear Mother, Till we all shall be called home, There to dwell with thee forever, In that bright and happy home. Ollie Mills and Children. 38-1t-pd.
