May the Savior who has the power to heal the wounded hearts and to comfort the human soul in all its trials and sorrows, come to this family who are thus so sorely bereaved
and while our existence on earth be prolonged lot each of us be true to God and then in that great day when we shall triumphantly pass through Heaven's gate we shall understand
the mysteries of earth and shall go forth in glorious light to live forever with the Lord.

We desire to extend our sincere thanks for the kindness and sympathy of our many friends and acquaintances, also for the beautiful floral offerings tendered during our time
