IN LOVING MEMORY of our husband and -father. Thomas. H. Cross, who died one year ago today, July 29, 1927. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved la stilled; A place is vacant In our home That never can be filled.
We never knew the pain he bore, We never saw him die: We only know he went away And never said good-bye. We often sit and think of him When we are all alone. For memory is the only thing That grief can call Its own. Badly missed by wife and children ..
