IN MEMORIAM Mrs. Martha Carty Mrs. Carty's soft eyes twinkled and her soft voice flowed; She was good; She was kind, a memory to be endeared. Georgia had beautiful hair and a sweet disposition That touched everyone far or near. Laughter lost a true companion in the person of John, Tall and athletic and warm and sincere. They will live forever and endure. For love is eternal and keeps them They touched our lives for a few fleeting minutes; They laughed with us and shouted, and cried, and prayed; We smiled and lived our lives together; They left, but in our hearts they stayed. Georgia Durham - fi near. John Thomas
