From the funeral card
In Loving Remembrance
of
Mrs. Retta Moon
Died November 28, 1887
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.
