Waiting for Butterfly Wings

When life brings you difficult problems to face And when nothing goes smoothly along,
Remember-until it must leap through the rocks, A stream has no sparkle or song.
At times when you're shadowed by trouble and care Like a storm cloud that won't go away,
Remember-one sunbeam can banish the dark with a single, dependable ray.
When you must be patient in loss or defeat Or the sorrow that life sometimes brings,

Remember-in time, from a plain, brown cocoon, Comes the beauty ofbutterfly wings. -- Anon.

1lcknoWl{ldg{lm{lnt For prayers and acts of kindness over the years, For encouraging words and thoughtful deeds, For smiles when tears seem to be the only choice, For Love that's unmeasured and unencumbered,
the Family of Mrs. Christine R. Dennis is deeply touched and forever grateful.
Truly, it is in giving that we learn how to live. Your concern and support has given us the strength to face her passing and comfort to know that God's wisdom is never failing. May the God we serve Bless you beyond measure and Keep you in His care.
