When the light Of dawn comes
stealing
Softly from the distant hills
When the evening silence pauses.
To the call of Gods will.
Then we feel gentle silence
And we think again of him
Who descended with Gods kindness
When our memories have grown
dim.
When the moonlight gently fingers
Smoothing all earth's rough
mound q
Then we think of him who suffered
OF the thorns that made his crown
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to extend thanks to all
the neighbors and friends who so
kindly assisted during the sickness
and death Of our husband and
father.
