KATIE B. A tribute of low
and devotion to the memory of ou
GEAR mother and grandmother, KATI
B. JENNINGS. who left us three year
ago today, April 80, l94S.
The blow was heavy, the shock severe.
We little thought that death was near;
But only those who have lost can tell
The pain OF parting without farewell.
Oft to our hearts come a bitter cry:
Way, oh why, did our mother die?
Then comes the answer, so soft an
sweet,
She is not dead, she is only asleep.
Not ours to know the reason why
Unanswered is our prayer.
But ours to wait for Gods own time
10 Iht the cross we bear.
Not ours to know the reason why
But ours to live in faith and hone.
Though bleeding to the heart.
HER DEVOTED CHILDREN.
She walked serene with peaceful heart
To meet the rising sun;
Her hand in Gods and unafraid
To let His will be done.
HER GRANDCHILDREN.
Today recalls memory
And those who think Of her !ets today
Are those who loved her best
YOUR SONS-IN-LAW.
Always in the land of sunshine.
separated by heavens gold door.
She had smile for every one,
heart as good as gold;
To those who knew and loved her.
her memory will never grow old.
