In Memory Oh
Mrs. Ruth Shomburger

"Our kind and gentle friend, whose
smile
Made brighter summer hours,
Amidst the frosts OF autumn time
Has left us with the flowers.
No paling of the cheek of bloom
Forewarned US of decay;
No shadow from the Silent land
Fell rund our sisters way.
The light Of her dear life went down.
AS sinks behind the hill
The glory of a setting star,
Clear, suddenly, and still"
Whereas, God in his infinite wis
dom and love has seen fit to cal
from us our kind friend and beloved
member. Mrs. Ruth Shamburger'
Therefore be it resolved:
That we are grateful for our
| Christian association with her for
these few short years.
That because of her going we are
sad but may her life be a challenge
to us for better Christian living
That we extend our deepest SYM
/ pathy to her husband and loved ones
! and commend to them h one
Whose love exceedesh ours.
I'VE miss her in the place of prayer,
: and by the hearth-fire's light;
! We pause beside her door to hear
Once more her sweet goodnight!
There seems a shadow on the day,
I.el smile no longer cheers;
dimness on the stars of night,
LIAe eyes tAao look through tears.
Alone unto our Fathers Will
One thought hath reconciled;
That He whose love eNceedeth ours
Hath taken home his child"
Respectfully submitted,
