PALLBEARERS Mr. William Jones Mr. Robert Nash Mr. Albert Smith Mr. Leon Waiters Mr. Joe Williams Mr. James Wright God Knows Best 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. Our Father tests us often, with suffering and sorrow He tests us not to punish us, but to help us meet Tomorrow. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT May we take this opportunity to thank you for coming to help us bear our grief At this most difficult period for us, it is most gratitying to know that we have friends who are concerned and who care. Your visits, calls, cards, food, thoughts, prayers and other deeds ofkindness have all helped us to bear our great loss. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU THE FAMILY 1M LOVING MMORV Of MRS. MARY.
