We have lost our darling mother,
She has bid us all adieu,
She has gone to live in Heaven
And her form is lost to view.
Oh! That dear one, how we loved her,
Oh! How hard to give her up,
But an angel came down for her,
And removed her from our midst.

Mr. Marius Hansen, family and relatives wish to thank friends and neighbors for the kindness and sympathy they have shown in our bereavement.
