'Tis hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart
'Tis hard, so hard to speak the words
''We must forever part."
Dear loved one we have laid thee
In thy peaceful crypts embrace
But thy memory will be cherished
When we see, in heaven, thy face.

Lovingly and Sorrowfully,

                <text>The Mary Awkard Fairfax Collection consists of over 500 items that were digitized to support the development and design of the 2022 exhibit, Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Mary Awkard Fairfax. The series consists of photographs and some historical documents from Mary Awkard Fairfax’s personal collection and her family’s papers (1939–2012), shared with the Celebrating Simms project by Mrs. Fairfax’s niece, Mary Ann Smith-Tucker. The Mary Awkard Fairfax Collection is a post-custodial collection, meaning that it consists entirely of digitized materials and that all original materials were returned to the custody of their original owners immediately after being digitized.</text>
