cWvffic gou Murray cWifsott
A precious one from us has gone, A voice we love is still. A place is vacant in our home, which never can befilled. She will not be forgotten, though on earth she is no more. But in the memory she is with us, as she always was before.

It takes the bitter and the sweet to make a lifefull and complete
Life is a mixture o f sunshine and rain, Laughter and teardrops, pleasure and painLow tides and high tides, mountains and plains
Triumphs, defeats, and losses and gainsBut always, in all ways, G od's guiding and leading And He alone knows the things we 're most needingAnd when He sends sorrow or some dreaded affliction Be assured that it comes with G od's kind benediction-
And if we accept it as a gift o f His love We 'll be showered with blessings from our Father above.

- Repast Greater Mt. Canaan Missionary Baptist Church

When a dearface is no longer here, And a voice that we love is hushed, It seems as i f time went by so quickly It seems as if things were too rushed! But then, one by one, we remember And one by one we clearly recall Many quiet and wonderful hours, And thejoy that was shared by all. But there's still a greatfeeling o fjoy and comfort When our hearts are grieving and sad We can remember again and be thankful to God For all the sweet hours that we had.
