Benediction 
His Merciful Touch  
I consider that the sufferings of this 
present time are not worth comparing 
with the glory that is to he revealed to 
us.  Romans 8:18 
I wish I could wipe away every trace, 
Of pain and suffering from your face. 
But He is great and we are small, 
We just cant alter His will at all. 
And none of us would want to try. 
For more and more as days go by; 
We know his plan for us is best. 
And he will give us peace and rest. 
And earthly pain is never too much. 
If he has bestowed his merciful touch 
And if you look to him and pray. 
He will help you through every day. 
If there was no pain or sorrow, how 
could I ever learn to call upon you, 
Father, with faith in my heart? 
Our Dearest Mercedes 
We love you from the bottom of 
our hearts. Days will come when we 
sit around and remember you 
reciting the words of Alphalfa. Your 
wittiness has brought much joy into 
our lives, your smile has been like a 
ray of sunshine that brightened our 
day. Your love is something we will 
always cherish and remember. Rest 
in peace Our Love, until the day we 
all join and rejoice in a place called 
HOME. 
You will be deeply missed.
