IN MEMORIAM
In loving remembrance of our doar uncle. D. C. Campbell, who passed away one year ago today. A precious one from us is gone. The mice we loved to still : A place is vacant in our home. Which never can be !und.
When the shades of night are falling. And we are sitting all alone. To our hearts there comes a kinging. !! "I'ni liant" only could come home.
"Twas a year ago you left ns. At the setting of the dawn. Jesus said. "Come, oh! You blessed. For your work on earth is done !"
So !!!! den was your touch tone and In the ones who were left behind. How we have longed for one last word. "If you had only wald "Goodbye "
All in dark In our dwellings. Lonely are our hearts today. For the one we lived an dearis. Has forever passed away.
We have tried to bear with patience. The loss of your presence in our home. But there is one who gained our loss. In that far-off Heavenly home.
Sadly missed in our home. by nephew and niece Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Campbell.
