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.
