May 31, 1972

God called Ernest P. Umstead to his heavenly place.

Our lives changed forever that sad May day.

We would no longer see your loving face.

Fond memories of you helped us continue on our way.

Your painful days came to an end.

Time passes us by so fast.

We hope our hearts will some day mend.

Our sadness just seems to last and last.

We're hoping to join you some day in heaven above.

Until then, dear one, we send our love.
