ObiruARy
The pathway of the just is a shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. This is a tender hour, but in no way an hour of tragedy. There is something utterly appropriate about the going home of this one who has lived a happy and useful life. Who has put so much of goodness, kindness, love, and service for others and loyalty to God into her years. It is highly appropriate when such a person goes home, to the home, she has journeyed for more than 69 years.
Mrs. Rtcie Gertrude Martin Andrews quietly and peacefully slept away Wednesday at her residence after several months of declining health.
She was a native of Lincoln County, Georgia, the daughter of the late Ranee and Mary Lou Murray Andrews.
She possessed a very kind and pleasant disposition, and was a lover of children. A sweet life ended Wednesday afternoon when she was taken from us. Her willingness to help others was her lifeprupose, as well as her enthusiasm for her fellowman. She has now fulfilled that purpose and now we can thank our Heavenly Father for the life she lived among us and for taking her tto the land that He has prepared for the faithful.
At an early age she joined the Ebenezer Baptist Church and served faithful until her health failed her. She was a member of the Ebenezer Church Club No. 1 and a member of the Good Samaratin Lodge.
She leaves to mourn and cherish her memories, a devoted husband, Mr. Ramsey Andrews, Sr. of the home; two daughters, Mrs. Ada Wilson, Charlotte, North Carolina, Mrs. Myrtle Bland, McCormick, S. C.; six sons, Mr. Eugene Andrews, Augusta, Ga.;Mr. Jessie L. Andrews, Charlotte, N. C., Rev. Roy D. Andrews, Mr. Ramsey Andrews, Mr. Willie N. Andrews, Mr. Randy Andrews, all of Lincolnton, Ga.; one sister, Mr. Zula M. Robinson of Augusta, Ga.; one brother, Mr. Gus Martin, Charlotte, N. C.; three sisters-in-law; one brother-in-law; five daughters-in-law; three sons-in-law; 25 grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nepehws, and otherrelatives and friends.
Acknowledgement
Words are inadequate to express the humbleness and gratefulness we feel toward all of our friends who have consoled us during our bereavement. Your prayers, your love, your presence and service has substained us. Your cards, telegrams, flowers, and gifts of food were warmly appreciated. We saw all of these as Gods love expressed through you. Whatever you did to console our hearts we thank you very much.

"Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart." Psalms 27:14

TRIBUTE

A million times we have needed you,

A million times we have cried.

If love alone could have spared you,

You would have never died.

If all the world was ours to give

We would give it, yea; and more.

To see you coming up our steps,

And walking through our door.

To hear your voice, to see your smile,

To sit and talk with you a while,

;

To be with you the same old way,

Would be our fondest today.

A heart of gold stopped beating,

Two smiling eyes closed to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.

Should You Go First
Should you go first and We remain To walk the road alone Well live in memorys garden, dear, With happy days weve known.

In Spring Ill wait for roses red, When fades the lilace blue In early fall when brown leaves fall Ill catch a glimpse of you.

Should you go first and we remain ; One thing wed have you do Walk slowly down the path of death For soon well follow you.

Well want to know each step you take

That we may walk the same

;

For some day down that lonely road

Youll hear us call your name.
