"G Phal (^Q)ed CdGalk Prem ised"
God hath not promised skies always 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.
"Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises."
II Peter 1:4
The family would like to express our sincere appreciation for the love, support and guidance given to us during our bereavement. We were comforted by your visits, telephone calls, cards, flowers and gifts. Your presence has been a source for strength. Special Thanks: St. Joseph Hospice Staff, Sis. Chris and Mrs. Robbie Hobbs. Flowers by Dee.
