The memorial card

From the funeral card

"Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted." —St. Matt. V. 5

My Jesus have mercy on the Soul of

MRS. VIRGINIA EGGER

Died March 19, 1955

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 Egger card only. The only locality on the card is the funeral home's imprint — the card does not state a place of death.
