In MemOriam
In memory of Elite (HinkIe) Scoles,
who passed away nine years ago
today, February 5, 1888.

Nst ~ lOoos
Tho years have come and gone,
Still you, we do not forget,
Although in body you are absent
Your Spirit seems with us yet.
In Heaven we know you are happy,
And in this world you don't belong
Where SO much sin, suffering and
sorrow
Seems to make things go so
wrong.
So instead of wishing you here on
earth
We will just look to God on high
And through faith make Heaven our
home
Then we will meet you in the sky.
