MRS. ELOISE BOSWELL RUCKER
Tuesday, September 23, 1986 - 4:00 P.M. THANKFUL BAPTIST CHURCH Augusta, Georgia Rev. N. T. Young, Officiating
We Give Our Loved Ones Back To God
We give our loved ones back to God.
And just as He first gave them to us
And did not lose them in the giving,
so we have not lost them in returning them to Him... for life is eternal, love is immortal,
death is only a horizon... and a horizon is nothing.
but the limit our earthly sight.
Helen Steiner Rice

Life Is But A Garden
Life is but a garden In which we plant seeds Of hope and love and tenderness Of kindly thoughts and deeds.
And when the sun has risen, And the seeds begin to grow They flourish in our dear ones
Because we love them so.
But when the sun has settled Beyond the distant hill
And when tender blooms have vanished With the dear heart that is still.
We must keep the garden blooming With courage, faith and trust
Till again we meet our loved ones In the heavens as we must.
