A Nd so, though our hearts RESPOND

TO think with regret of those who Will
not be with us more in this world.
Christmas always has it's element OF
sadness there is nearly always an empty
place to fill in each heart. Does it not
urge us on to do our best here that we
may be judged worthy to spend the other
life together with those we have held so
dear when they were with us?
