IN MEMORIAM In Loving memory of our dear mother, Mrs. Ida Short, who passed away one year ago today, May 12, 1954. We mourn for her in silence, No eyes can see us weep; Many a tear is shed While others are asleep. In our hearts your memory lingers, Always fond and true; There is not a day, dear Mother, That we do not think of you. To those who have a mother; Cherish her with care; You will never will know how much you miss her Until you find she isn't there. Sadly missed by her children and grandchildren, Mr. and Mrs Otto Fissler and family, Mrs. Clara Patton and Family, Mr. and Mrs. Ashley Short and Family, Mr. and Mrs. Acel Short and Family, Opal and Pauline Flake.
