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"
Inserted by their loving Father & Mother, Brothers & Sisters
