An untiring worker, who believed in visiting the sick and shut-ins whether he knew each personally or not.
"Our Father knows what's best for us, so why should we complain We always want, the sunshine
But he knows there must be rain We love the sound of laughter And the merriment of cheer
But our hearts would lose their tenderness If we never shed a tear.
