A LOVING MEMORY
Her life is a beautiful memory; Her absence, our sorrow and grief; She sleeps in God's beautiful garden, In the sunshine of perfect peace.
Sometimes it's hard to understand, Why some things have to be; But in His wisdom He has planned, Beyond our power to see.

OUR MANY THANKS

We wish to express our deepest appreciation for the many acts

of kindness shown to us during the loss of our loved one. We are

especially thankful for those who have inspired us and helped us bear our sorrows. May God bless each of you.

Again we thank you.
