The Rose Bt.yond The Wall
Ncar a shady wall a rose once grew. budded and blossomed in God's free light. Watered a nd fed by morning, dew, shedding its sweetness day and night. As it grew and blossomed fair and tall, slowly rising to loftier height, onward it crept with added strength, with never a though of fear or pride; It folfowed the light through the crevice's length and unfolded itself on the other side. Shall Claim of death cause us to grieve, and make our courage faint and fall! Nay! Let us faith and hope receive, the rose still grows beyond the wall.
The body will lie in state from 12:00 noon til t hP hour of the funeral at 4:00
