The family of Mrs. Mary Ricks Williams wish to express to you
their deepest gratitude for the many acts of kindness shown
during our period of sorrow.
A Memorial Tribute
Peacefully she is sleeping.
She is resting at last;
Her weary trials,
Her troubles have passed;
Silently she suffered.
With patience she bore;
Until God called her home.
To suffer no more.
