The funeral card

From the funeral card

In Loving Remembrance of

Mary Cunningham,

Died November 26th, 1889.

Aged 30 years, 8 months.

"It is a holy and a wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins."—Mac. xii. 42.

"Eternal rest grant to her, O Lord! And let perpetual light shine on her."

A precious one from us has gone,

A voice we loved is stilled;

A place is vacant in our home,

Which never can be filled.

God in His wisdom has recalled,

The boon His love had given;

And though the body slumbers here,

The soul is safe in Heaven.
