The Faith That Comforts
I go to life and not to death From darkness to life's native sky; I go from sickness and from pain
To health and immortality. Let our farewell, then, be tearless.
Since I bid farewell to tears; Write this day o f my departure Festive in your coming years.
Horatius Bona
The family of Queen E. Jones, wishes to express our sincere thanks for your support, prayers and all other acts of kindness shown during her illness and passing at this time. May God richly bless each of you.
