IN MEMORIAN THOMPSON — In loving memory of our only Darling Robert James Floyd Thompson, who passed away two years ago, October 27th, 1939. We loved him yes we loved him, but Jesus Ibved him more. And now he waits to greet us on that bright and golden shore. No stain was on his little heart, sin had not entered there. And innocence swept sweetly on that pale white brow so fair. He was too pure for this cold earth, too beautiful to stay. And so God’s Holy Angels bore our Darling Floyd away. When the evening, shades are falling, and we sit in quiet alone, To our hearts there comes that yearning if he only could come hpme. Lovingly remembered and sadly, missed by his lonely father and mother.
