Sanford, full of pleasant anticipations of spending a Merry Christmas with her loved ones, she was suddenly called from Time to Eternity. Early Christmas morning, instead of the expected guest, with eyes bright with the enthusiasm of much love and happiness, only her empty shell, tenderly borne in the arms of her brothers, was carried through the open, waiting doors...
