In Memoriam
BOITANO, Lucy
In loving memory of my dear wife, Lucy Boitano (nee O'Conner) who departed
this life Aug. 16, 1918


I miss you and mourn you
In silence unseen,
I dwell on the memories
Of joys that have been;
Though gone and forgotten
By others maybe,
The grave that contains you
Is sacred to me.
HUSBAND
