Rest, dear Hattie, thy work is o'er
Thy loving hands will toil no more,
Time was too short to say farewell
To those she thought of and loved so well.
Yes, we miss her, oh, we miss her
\When we see her vacant chair,
And how sad the room without her
For there's no dear Hattie there.
Friends may think the wound is healed
But little do they know our sorrow,
That lies within our hearts concealed.
                                                                                     Husband, parents, sisters and brother
[MHD notation:  d. 1943]
