May we be a reunited family in heaven.
TODD
(Right side) A light from our household is gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our hearts
That never can be filled.

Bye and Bye.
(Back) Sweetly sleep in Jesus.
Gone But Not Forgotten
Her son John’s death certificate gives her name as Henrietta Todd (wife Molly was informant). [7] She may have gone by “Todd” - that is what she is called in her grandfather Edwards will.
