neighbor, the family a devoted wife
and loving mother, we as a Camp
extend our heartfelt sympathy to
the grief-stricken husband and
children in their time of sorrow;
and while they mourn the loss of
their loved one we mourn the loss
of our beloved neighbor.
And our earnest prayer goes up
to our Heavenly Father, who doeth
all things we'll and whose gentle,
guiding hand we pray will always
remain with the motherless child
rem, guarding them safely through
the long Journey of life. And be it
further
Resolved, That our charter be
draped in mourning for a period of
thirty days; that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the bereaved
family and to the local papers for
publication, and copy be spread
