ine Gregus, who passed away
three years ago* December 18,
1948.
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.
But God is good, He gives us
strength
To bear our heavy cross;
He is the only one who knows
How bitter is our loss.
—Sadly missed by husband,
children and sister Mary and
John. 13*

The cheeriest smile, a heart of

Always a smile instead of a
, frown,
Always a hand when we were
down.
Always so thoughtful, jolly and
kind,
What a wonderful memory she
left behind,
And those who knew hei* well
will know
What a dear wife and mother
we lost a year ago.
—Lovingly remembered by hus
band and family. 13c
