It was months after opening that last drawer that I realized that there was one other place I might find another message from Janice. It took me weeks of research and visiting several parishes in and around the city before I found it.

In loving memory of

Janice Simpson nee’ Willow
Born July 20th, 1870
Died September 11, 1919
of Influenza

Loving Wife and Mother

James, I never forgot
