IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of out dear husband and father, Mr. Tom Smoot, who departed this life one year ago, February W, 1960. The days are sad and lonely nights since God called you home. Your place can never- be filled. The whole world seems dark and blue. No one on earth knows how we miss you, or how many tears we shed. We did all that could be done to keep you, dear dad, but God did more. He took you home. It brought us all broken hearts we / will never forget and we hope to meet you in heaven some sweet day.
It was dark and dreary the night God called you home. How we miss your sweet smile «nd sweet voice. Qur hearts are filled with pain for you. God took you home to rest. Sleep on dear.
Loving wife and daughter
