Theres an open gate at the end of the road
Through which each must go alone.
And there in a light we carmot see
Our Father claims His own;
Beyond the gate, your loved one
Finds happiness and rest
And there is comfort in the thought
That a loving God knows best.

In everybodys garden a little rain must fall
Or lifes sweetest fairest flowers,
Wouldnt grow and bloom at all
All though the clouds hang heavy
So heavy. Ohl My Friend.
Im sure that God who sends the shower
Will send the rainbows end.
Gone is the face we loved so dear
Silent is the voice we love to hear;
Too far away for sight or speech;
But not too far for thoughts to reach.
We do not forget, nor do we intend,
We will think of you often and
Mrs. Martha J. Lane

A Special Appreciation
When our hearts were weak and heavily burdened, the Lord, our family
and dearest ftiends were there to comfort and care for us. Without your
love and support, we would not and could not have seen the way. We
love and appreciate the closeness you all have shared with us. May God
bless you.
