"Life, I know not w hat thou art, B ut know that you and I must part; A n d when or where and how we met
I own to me is a secret yet . . . Life, we have been long together, Through sunshine and cloudy weather; `T is sad to part where friends are dear; Perhaps `tw ill cause a sigh or tear Then steal away, give little warning. Say not farewell, but some day in some brighter clime
Bid me a good morning.

Poem
God hath not promised skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through.
God hath not promised sun without rain, Jo y without sorrow, peace without pain. But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest from thy labor, light for the way; Grace for thy trails, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

** ACKNOWLEDGEMENT **
Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for all the expressions of love, concern and sympathy shown to us during our bereavement. Your thoughtfulness is deeply appreciated and will always be remembered.
