| A Spirit of Light . . . Mother |

| You never said I'm Leaving, You never said goodbye, You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why; A million times we've needed you, a million times we've cried, If love alone could have saved you. You never would've died; In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts there is a place, That only you could fill. It hurt us so to lose you, But you didn't go alone, For part of us went with you, the day that you went home. |
| Evelyn Lerline Henderson August 27, 1927 - May 20, 1999 |

| I'm not sure when this photo was taken. I'm sure it was probably taken in a studio. I think she'd be married to Daddy by this time, only because she looks older than eighteen here. |
