You hold a place within our hearts,
That's always bright with cheer,
You hold a place within our thoughts,
That's sacred, Mother dear!
You held a place in all our prayers,
In all our wishes too,
And all we ask of God is just,
The best of care for you.
Funeral services were held Thursday, December 26, from the Presbyterian church in Cuba with the Rev. Amos Rundus in charge. Interment was in Tabor cemetery.
