IN MEMORIAM:

In loving memory of our two sons, Edward Pascoe, killed August 5, 1916 & David Pascoe, killed September 27, 1917

"Our hearts for you are aching, we are lonely night and day

We miss you, oh we miss you, in a thousand different ways

In our hearts your memory lingers, sweetly, tender, fond and true

And there is not a day, dear loved ones, that we do not think of you"
