THE UNSEEN BRIDGE
There is a bridge, where of the span Is rooted in the heart of man, And reaches, without pile or rod, Unto the great white throne of God. Its traffic is in human sight Fervently wafted to the skies; Tis the one pathway from despair; And it is called the bridge of prayer.
The family wishes to thank their many friends for flowers, food, cards, prayers and visitation during their hours of their great loss. May God bless each of you in a special way.
