In Memoriam
In memory of our precious daughter Martha Jane Norris, who passed away one year ago, February 27, 1952. Her presence is greatly missed by her loved ones and many friends. She is gone but not forgotten to some far off distant land and some sweet day we shall meet her in that home not made with hands. Truly she was budded on earth to bloom in heaven, and at the age of 15 she bade this world and loved ones goodbye. She is not dead, she is only sleeping, waiting to meet Jesus in the sky. A precious jewel from us gone, a voice we love is still, a place is vacant in our home which never can be filled.Father, Mother, Brothers and Sisters
