In loving memory of ILA FAYE FURR, who passed away August 11, 1972. It's so easy to take life for granted, believing there will always be a tomorrow. Tomorrow, we'll tell her how much she is loved, and how much she brightens our days. Beautiful words that now fall upon grassy knoll. If yesterday could only be our tomorrow; to be given the chance tell you these desperate words. Important words, caressing words that now only touch your stilled fingers. Pressed between the Holy Pages one of your roses; it's petals now lifeless and still. Just as a rose, you too were once full of life and made the world more beautiful with your appearance. Thoughts of our small chats are so etched in our minds that even now we can hear your gentle laugh. Where is the comfort we so desperately need? Where do we turn now for the shoulder you lent us time and time again? So many memories of you are locked within our minds; sometimes when alone, we unlock them and share you with our hearts and souls. But not a hand on the clock moves, that we don't remember you. Sadly missed by Harry P. Furr & Family
