To the memory Of Sister Griffith.
who has gone to live with God to the
hcurch.
From this vain world Of sorrow
One whom we so loved has gone,
But there will be q bright tomorrow,
When we meet her in that home.
AS q Christian who by example
Taught us to live kind and true,
She was always up and doing t
Whatever kindness she could do.
One of our number has departed
To that land Of rest on high,
But there will be bright tomorrow,
When we meet beyond the sky.
There we will meet to part no more,
In that home, so bright and fair,
So each member let us promise
That we will try and meet her there.
To the family: ~
Of you do just what she taught you
On those dear days past and gone,
There will be no way to miss her
On that far Heavenly home.
There you will meet her with the
angels,
And our loving Savior too,
When you run the race with patience
Will be there to welcome you.
The son and daughter:
Weep not children for your dear one
Whom you loved so good and true,
For you can 60 where she has gone
And is watching and waiting for you.
To the grandchildren:
You children will always miss her
More than tongue ever tells,
But by living true and righteous
You can 60 where grandma dwells.
From the writer:
I am glad that I have known her,
And her name and winning smile,
I will work a little longer
To be with her after while.
