She was loving daughter and sister; a
perfect and sincere friend, and her life was
honest and truthful AS the dark and chilly
shades of death were gathering rapidly
about her, she called her relatives to her
and unfalteringly bade them an affectionate
and last farewell. Those with her in the last
hours of her life believed there were none
better, and know that none can be braver.
By these her memory will be ever cherished.
To these fond hearts it will ever cling, and
like the tendrils of a creeping vine, take a
tirmer and deeper hold as the years come
and go.-C0m.
