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.
