Forever missing you. Gone, but not forgotten. With an ache in our hearts, we whisper low, ‘Happy birthday, Mom. We miss you so.’

ALICE MARIE JEFFERY October 8, 1929
Happy 1st birthday in Heaven, Moma!
We said a prayer for you as we always do every day in our hearts. We hope you don’t mind. We pray that God will put His arms around you and don’t leave you on your own, for today is your birthday. We can’t send a birthday card; your hand we cannot touch. But we know that God will take our birthday greetings to the one we love so much.
We miss your love, car- ing spirit, and laughs every minute. We will celebrate your birthday on October 8th and October 9th (smiles). You are not for- gotten, there are always talks and precious memo- ries we cherish all the time. You are forever in our hearts.
Remembering you on your 86th birthday!
Your sons and daugh- ters: Frederick, Tyrone, Otis, Timothy, Janet and Arsie; grandchildren, great grandchildren, other fam- ily members and special loving friends.
