"DELLA THRAILKILL"
"Aug. 5, 1893-Aug. 18,1979"
"WHEN I'M GONE"
"I know that someday I'll pass on,
As all must leave this earth.
And when I do, this much I ask,
Don't lie about my worth."
"For, after death, friends always say
Kind things which aren't quite true.
So when I'm gone don't build me up,
My friend, I beg of you."
"When I have passed beyond your reach,
Though you no longer see
My glaring faults, they'll still be there;
For they are a part of me."
"If you like me with frailties, now
Why change me to a saint
Please just be honest and say
That I was what I ain't."
"It was Mom's request that this poem be read at her funeral."
"Della Wilconson Thrailkill, daughter of George and Susan P. Smith Wilconsin, was born August 5, 1893, near Eagleville, Mo., and passed away at her home on August 18, 1979, after some months of illness. She was 86 years and 13 days old."
"On Feb. 13, 1910, Della was united in marriage to Charles A. Thrailkill and to this union two children were born, Mable Augusta and Cleo George."
"Preceding her in death were her parents, two sisters, one brother, husband Charles, her son, George, a granddaughter, Karen Baxter and three great grandchildren."
"All her life was spent on the farm north of Eagleville where she enjoyed life to the fullest with friends and neighbors. Her fondest dreams came true for her when she was near her grandchildren, whom she loved very much. She is survived by four grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, 10 great great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and a great many friends."
"She was given constant care by her daughter, Mabel."
"Memories are treasures, no one can steal. Death is a heartache, no one can heal. Some may forget, now that you are gone But we will remember, no matter how long."
