A Mother's Love 
A Mother's love is something no one can explain, It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may For nothing can destroy it or take that love away.... It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking And it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking. ... It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems, 
It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation, And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation. .. . 
A many splendorous miracle man cannot understand And another wondrous evidence of God's tender guiding hand. 
 
ACKNOWLEDGMENT 
The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude for all the many kind expressions of sympathy shown them during their time of bereavement. May God bless all of you.

Thanatopsis 
So live, that when thou summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moue: 
To that mysterious Realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, 
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed, 
By an unfaltering Trust, approach thou grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. 
William Cullen Bryant
