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.
