God hath not promised skies ahvays blue, Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through.
God hath not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain. God hath not promised we shall not know,
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe. He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care. But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the laborer, light for the way, Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
"W hereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises. " II Peter 1:4
1 he family would like to express their sincere appreciation for the love, support and guidance given to them during their bereave ment. They were comforted by your visits, telephone calls, cards, flower and gifts. Your presence has been a source a strength.
