Then too, we would not fail to thank those who contributed to the lovely floral offering. The beautiful flowers were so indicative of the love and esteem in which our dear departed loved one was held by all who knew her. She loved flowers, her home and her friends.

She loved her church, and it is a sweet consolation to us to know that it was the church, the last place she tried to go on this, earth. Our friends just overwhelmed us with acts of kindness, and they can never know just how much we love them for it. We pray God that they may be spared for many years yet to come that their lives may be a benediction to others. Lovingly and respectfully, GEO. F.
