OBITUARY
A child of the air, a joyous spirit, well disposed, warm
affectionate, her nature in her face, tender merry loving.
IN HIS FOOTSTEPS
When someone does a kindness
It always seems to me
Thats the way God up in heaven
Wouid like us all to be...
For when we bring some pleasure
To another human heart
We have followed in His footsteps
And weve had a iittle part
In serving Him who loves us
For I am very sure its true.
That in serving those around us.
We serve and please Him, too.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
THANKS
Perhaps you sent a card or gram.
Or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent food or a spray,
If so, it is here.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words.
As any friend could say.
Perhaps you were not there at all.
Just thought of us today.
Whatever you did to console our hearts
We thank you so much, whatever your part.
