LOVING MEMORY

OF

Lily Woodward,

WHO DIED MAY 23rd, 1916,

Aged 29 Years.

INTERRED AT DERBY CEMETERY.

"Take ye heed, watch and pray; for ye know not when the time is."

Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round;

On Jesus' bosom nought but calm is found.

It is enough, earth's struggles soon shall cease,

And Jesus call us to Heaven's perfect peace.
