In kwing memory of our dear son and brother, Lester Higgins, who died January 34, 1938.
No one knows the silent heart-aches. Only those who have lost can tell, Of the grief that is sorne in allence. For our dear one we loved so well.
More and more each day we miss you. Friends may think the wound Is besled But they little know the sorrow Thet lies within our hearts concealed.
We raise your dear, smiling face, But you left us a memory that none on with oen take your place. Peaceful be your sleep, dear son and brother. God took you home; it was His will, To be with the angels in that Heuresly home.
Where no pain of sorrow atar comes
Sadly missed by Mother. Sisters. Broth- ars .and Grandmother.
