bered joys. A friendship shared, a trnlnr.t_ ,ji.JNCI.~ these things, I'll too will miss. Be not burml~ of sorrow look for the sunshine oftonrwr:~AtlftUJ full, I savored much; Good friends, good touch. Perhaps my time seems all to brief; your pain with undue grief. Lift up your hep, thee, God wanted me now -He set me free

ple. His fondness for cooking ribs built
