Bridegam--In sad and loving remembrance of my dear mother, Sarah E. Bridegam, who passed away July 28, 1930.
One sad and lonesome year has passed,
Since I have seen your dear face last.
It was so hard to part from you,
Because you were so kind and true.
Oh how I would this day rejoice,
If I could lay my hand upon your brow.
Sadly missed by Daughter Helen.
