more Than beautiful-caln in deatil.@
He came to us early in january We looked
upon his face and we the franknes of the soul!
His heart was in his hand, and his hand was open.
His was indeed generous and a noble spirit. He
became one of our household, and very soon Loued
one of our family s-and upon all the hearts here
