The time has come that we must part
So now dear sister take this heart
And if we never meet again
In this world of earthly pain
I hope we shall meet on that hapy shore
Whare sorrow and parting will come no more.
Esther A. Draper

When this you see
Remember me
Remember me though far away
Remember me in the coming day
Remember me when love is sweet
Remember me untill we meet.
Hannah P. Draper – [Helen J. (Thomas) Hoorn’s great aunt]
