Our Precious Jewell 
Our precious Jewel from us is gone 
A voice we loved is still 
A place is vacant in our hearts 
That never can be filled 
For when Deaths Angel came to call 
Bertha answered, because, God is so great 
And were so small, and there is nothing we need to fear. 
For our faith in God makes all this clear. 
My family, I say to you 
For my sake and in my name 
Live on and do all things the same 
An in turn God will comfort you and hold you high 
Never be afraid to die 
For Ill be waiting for you in the sky.
