NOTE OF THANKS Your presence here this day, the card you mailed along the way, the service you stopped to render, the gift you brought with thoughts so tender. The prayers you said played a major part in easing the pain that was in our hearts. Each helped us find the strength to bear
the loss of one so dear. It was to us a great comfort indeed to see you in time of our sorrow and need. So from hearts which still need mending, We thank you sincerely again and again.
The Family
DEATH IS ONLY A PART OF LIFE
We enter this world from "THE GREAT UNKNOWN"
And GOD gives each SPIRIT a form of its own
And endows this form with a heart and a soul
To spur women on to his ultimate goal. ..
For all women are born to RETURN as they CAME
And birth and death are in essence the same
And we are but born to die and arise
For beyond this world in beauty there lies
The purpose of death which is but to gain
LIFE EVERLASTING in GOD'S GREAT DOMAIN...
And no one need make this journey alone
For GOD has promised to take care of HIS own.
