her speak one harmful or unkind
word have been with her in her own
home and other homes, but she was

spect to her sleeping dust.
: Her face portrayed peaceful smile
Since death has done her work,
And heaven seems to BEEN the Will
Upon her face we look.
God has taken from our number,
One we loved so dearly here
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
We would speak with falling teal
We must say that she has left us,
And this loss we sorely feel.
But we give her up to Jesus
Who does all our sorrow heal.
