From the funeral card

MY JESUS, have mercy on the soul of

MRS. ELVERA ECKER

Died February 9, 1956

PRAYER

O GENTLEST Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of Thy departed servant. Be not severe in Thy judgment, but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames, and do Thou, O Merciful Saviour, send Thy angels to conduct Thy departed servant to a place of refreshment, light, and peace. Amen.

May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Contributor's notes

This card was photographed together with several others; the transcription covers the Ecker card only. The card carries a small "Printed in Italy" imprint. The only locality on the card is the funeral directors' imprint — the card does not state a place of death.
