Anna MARTENS Memoriam
MARTENS, Anna. In memory of my dearly beloved mother who passed away 27 years ago today. The courage that my mother had Went with her, and is with her still: She gave me all her living, Her house upon a rock Left to me. Oh, if instead she'd left to me The thing she took into the grave - That courage like a rock, Which she has no more need of, But I do. Forever in my heart. Lottie.
