Funeral program for Effie Middleton Primous

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to see.
Momma, Forever in Our Hearts
Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,
but, remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter,
the smiles, Ive only gone to rest a while.
Although my leaving causes pain and grief,
my going has eased my hurt and given me relief.
So dry your eyes and remember me,
not as I am but, as I used to be.
I will remember you all and look on with
a smile, understand in your hearts
Ive only gone to rest a while.
As long as I have the love of each of you,
I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.
