On the " wings of death" The " soul takes flight" Into the land where " There is no night" -- For those who believe What the Savior said Will rise in glory Though they be dead ... So death comes to us Just to "open the door" To the kingdom of God and life ever more.

To our many friends who have been so thoughtful during the departure of our beloved, we wish to express our sincere thanks. Everything that was said and done has been very comforting and has given us a little more strength in facing this hour. Life's race, well run; Life's work, well done; Life's crown well won; And he is now at rest.
The family

UtfEn 3 fHuat foauE nu
W hen 1 must leave you for a little while, Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same,
Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky!
