You have filled all our hearts with beautiful memories. First, our growing up on the farm in Indiana-you and Daddy provided us with the happiest and most loving childhood anyone could possibly dream of. In later years-such memorable years of high school, marriages, grandchildren. You and Daddy were happiest when we all congregated at your home-a houseful overflowing with love. You have been our pillar of strength all your life and we will miss you with all our hearts, souls and minds. But we know, through God's eternal love for us all, by giving His only son, Jesus Christ, to die for us so that we will be forgiven of our sins, we will go on and know we will all be together again for eternity, in God's time. God gives and God takes away but His love endures forever. Thank you, Dear Mother, for the wonderful years here on earth. Go in peace to our Heavenly Father and all our loved ones waiting for you in heaven. Your Loving Family.
