In memory of Mrs Theophile Delaune
who died at Perry. La, OH Aug. IS
1914.
We have stood once again at the
threshold of Death and clasped in all
eternal farewell, the hand of dear old
friend, ere she crossed to the other shore
to join the silent numberless band, who
are daily drifting away.
As we look back across the waste OF
wears and remember the many kind
nesses we received in her hospitable
home. we can not but grieve at the
thought of the deserted heartlistone, the
empty home, where once this noble old
lady presided true wife and loving
mother, extending Il warm welcome to
all who came within her gates, either
friends or stranger.
Descendant of fine old family of
Antebellum days. to the day of her
death, she still retained that gentle
courtesy and Christian faith, which
belongs to and was part of the grand old
race. from which she came.
We have known her since childhood
and ever looked upon her as noble
Christian woman, who never hesitated
at the call of duty. To her. life was no
idle dream, but one great field of action,
where day by day, as a mother, there
were battles to be fought and daily
victories to be won.
BY the great faith given her to do the
Makers will, she has lived away beyond
the allotted span of life. which is three
score and ten years.
Through we will sadly miss her in
the home and her old accustomed places,
We cannot help but feel, that for her has
come that blessed time of rest. After
the long, long beautiful span of life. has
come that glorious sunset, which is the
promise of cloudless morrow.
Do not say dead. dear weeping
daughters and son. With the Christian
faitV she ever taught you, do not mourn,
but look beyond the mist and you will
see that she is only leading the way
leading the way for YOU In death as she
did i'll life. Something has been taken
from you that can never be given back
a mothers love and tender sympathy in
YOUR hours of trial and sorrow,
mothers presence i'll yonr home---no
great .r blessing was ever given than
mother.
Look back across the white waste of
years and think of the countless gifts
bestowed upon you by lavish hand of
the Great Giver and you will feel that
none is greater than a mothers love,
that has been taken from your lives.
But like the sweet perfume of dying
flowers its influence will remain with
YOU when everything else will have been
forgotten. anu with the Christian faith
which she ever taught you since earliest
infancy: look beyond the mist which we
call Death and follow where she leads
the way. know that at the end YOU
will find her waiting for you at the foot
of the cross. FRIEND.
