A beloved wife Of Patrick w Russell, In
the Gath year OF her age.
She was a kind mother aud loving wife.
Il was hard to see her die, but the Lord
knew best and His will be done. Sure.
ly this world can imagine how sad IL was
to be taken away from her four dear little
children, but we trust in the Lord that they
sill be taken care of in this dreary and
destitute world. Husband and children.
do not weep for her, for she is better off
there than here You know she has gone
TO everlasting happiness.
How we miss the constant futter
OF her busy step and hand,
Neither pen nor tongue can utter,
Only we can understand.
Empty chair and empty corner,
Vacant spaces everywhere,
Mutely telling how we mourn her,
Daily and nightly at us stare.
Weeks and months have slowly languished
Since the grief crowned the bitter day,
Blu; the tear.r ain wild and anguished,
Tempest like must have its sway.
In the world around and DER US,
Is there love like mothers love?
Then the love that nursed aid bore us
Throbs within our hearts.
Then comes the consolation gently
That from heavenly spaces clear,
Still her angel gaze intently
Watches over our spirits here.
But the world seems bleak and dreary,
Sad our lives, weak and weary,
Dispossessed of friend and guide;
Oh our lot a void seems only,
And our home is lonely, lonely
Since our mother died. ~.
