Mrs. Joe O'Toole Killed When Hit By Hit and Run Driver at San Marcos

In Memory of Carrie O'Toole
By Alta Greenwood
He called for his child last Sunday night,
About her head he cast a silver light,
Her troubles are over,her fears are gone,
She'll be happy in heaven always singing a song,
There were many who loved her and mourned at leave.
But why should anyone have to grieve.
Because they all have to go at a certain time,
And that's when our God calls.
