You lived a life upon this earth, O f eighten years, four score A servant ever faithful and true, Here with us below.
In spring you cherished your children, They loved you even more. Your life had much then with them, They gave you such a glow.
In summer came your grandchildren And, yes, you loved them too. Took little time fo r them to learn, What a gem they had in you.
The fall o f your life brought you laughter, I he great grands were now here. W e'll think o f you in our quiet moments, And hold memories o f you dear.
Then the winter o f your life came, And with it great great grands. They soon came to know and learn; The gentleness o f your hands.

** LIFE'S SUMMARY **
The angel of death has once again visited the Spring Grove Baptist Church and taken from its midst a loving, devoted servant, Janie Lee Baskett.

To he with you Sweet Jesus, The loveliest angel of all.

A Tribute From The Family W ith Our Blessing
Once In A Lifetime
Once in a lifetime a Saint is born, And that Saint just had to be you. With arms opened wide you took us in,
In a way only Saints could do.
Once in a lifetime a star shines bright, And brings to all a gentle glow.
That just comes directly from the heart, O f someone who we all loved so.
Once in a lifetime a voice is heard; For it spoke the truth to us all.
It was calming in our state of anger, A voice that answered when we called.
One in a lifetime God comes down, And takes his worthy angels home. Surely, Mother, God came and took you To Heaven where the Saints do roam.
