IN MEMORIAM

BOYD.—In loving memory of my darling Wife, who passed away September 13, 1946. There was someone who tried to save you, But God willed it not to be. With tears I watched you sinking, I saw you fade away, I tended you with fondest care But could not make you stay. God thought it best to take you Where suffering is not known. But He took the best wife and mother in the world When He took you from our home. 'Tis sad but true, we wonder why, The best are always first to die. —Loved and remembered always by her loving husband. 467 BOYD.—A loving tribute to my darling mother, who fell asleep September 13. 1946. God made a wonderful mother, One that never grew old. He made her eyes like the sunshine. And moulded her heart of gold. He made her as near to an angel As perfect as a mother could be. God made a wonderful mother And gave that mother to me. I loved her, yes, no tongue can tell How deep, how dearly and how well. No matter how I grieve, No matter how I call. There’s nothing left to answer But her photo on the wall. Till memory fades and life departs She will live forever, in my heart. Gone to His Heavenly garden. Where everything Is beautiful and fair, I am sending you my love, mother darling. As I know it will reach you there. —lnserted by her loving daughter. Merle. 466

BOYD.—A tribute of love to the memory of my mother, who passed away September 13, 1946. I stood beside your bedside. My heart was crushed and sore; • You did your duty till the end, Till you could do no more. Sleep on, dear mother, for it is true, You suffered long and told but few. But He Who knew you needed rest Was God above, and He knew best.

A beautiful memory, dearer than gold. A mother whose worth will never be told, A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is still; A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. Life is lonely without you, mother, And sad the weary way; Home has never been the same Since you were called away. The dearest mother this world could hold, , ~ A cheery smile, a heart of gold. Those who knew her, all will know, Just what we lost a year ago. A painful shock, a dreadful blow, Oh, dear mother, we miss you so. Our loss is great, we’ll not complain, But trust in God we’ll meet again. If we had this world to give, We’d give it, yes, and more. Just to see our darling mother Come smiling through the door. —lnserted by her loving daughter, Ngalre, son-in-law, Les, and wee Dennis. 546 BOYD.—In loving memory of our dear mother and nana, who passed away September 13, 1946.
