In loving memory of John R. Lawrence
Dearest John,
Why is it that we never realize just how much something means to us until we lose it? In the past year since your death on June 24, I have spent many lonely nights thinking of you and the years of our lives that we spent together sharing in each other's love I miss you so much more than you could ever imagine but I find comfort in knowing that on one glorious day we will meet and be able to spend eternity together
Your loving wife, Beulah Pickett Lawrence. _77 + pd The family of Annie M. Jackson wish to thank their relatives, friends and neigh bors for their kindness during our recent bereavement.
