IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of Delpha Hazel Neier who departed this life February 6, 1929. Broken is our family circle, Our dear daughter has passed away; Passed from earth and earthly da-K-ness Into a bright and perfect day: But we all must cease to languish O'er the grave of her we love, Strive to be prepared to meet her In the better world above. She has journeyed on before us, Though it's only for awhile; We miss her pleasant greeting. Miss her tender loving smile; But we know that she Is waiting At the gateway, bright and fair, And will greet ns some glad mo-n-
ing
As we joint her over there. We will not mourn or grieve loo i
deeply,
We think of her as just away; Free from pain and free from sorrow, Where the skies are never gray. Sadly missed by Mother and Father, Mr. and Mrs. Morton L. Rissler, Brothers Clyde, Harry and Otis.
