In Memory

In Memoriam of our loving Daddy, J. W. Rinks of Bells who passed 3 years ago this 24 day of May:

Well, Dear Daddy just 3 years ago you passed away out of this world of sin and worries. God took you home to join the angels band and live in the holy lands where there will be no sorrow or tear dime eyes. But we are lonesome for you Daddy. Oh how we miss you so bad I just long for you still. I loved you so much, more than words can express. Oh that sweet smiling face, there is no one to take your place. You visit me lots in dreams. It seems to be true you are always smiling and talking with me and then I awake and find it only a dream. My heart has ached lots of pains, my eyes have shed lots of tears just to think that we are to be without you, Daddy, all these long years.

You are sadly missed by us all.

Your daughter who loves you, Mrs. Theron Davis and children

In Memory

In memory of our loving Daddy John W. Rinks of Bells, Tenn., who departed from his loved ones four years ago, May 24, 1943.

Dear Daddy just four years ago today you were laid to rest in the lonely graveyard, so cold, so white and all alone in the graveyard you were. We had to say farewell Daddy, for awhile.

Dear Daddy I have spent so many lonesome hours since death took you from us. If I could only recall those heppy days which we have had together.

But there's coming a time for those who love God and take Him as their friend, they will all live together for ever in that beautiful home.

Daddy you were so kind and true to your children, you had to be a mother and daddy too, though you were the sweetest daddy any one could every have. There is no one like mother and daddy. What is a home without daddy.

Our home isn't as complete without you. I get so homesick for you. Tho God knew best he took you home with him on high where we long to meet you in the sweet bye and bye.
