She leaves to mourn her departure her husband, the five children, eight grandchildren, one aunt, and a host of friends. She was a kind and understanding wife, mother and grandmother and will be greatly missed in the home. She always had a smile and a cheery word for those who knew her.
Sleep on dear mother; thy work is o'er,
Whose faithful hands need toil no more.
A few days have passed away,
We hope to meet you some sweet day.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts today.
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever passed away.
Heaven now has got our treasure
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
But the sunbeams will always linger,
Where our dear Mother sleeps.
Sweet and peaceful be thy rest,
Forget you; we can never,
God called you; he alone knows best.
His will be done forever.
