OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY A wonderful person, friend and aide, one who was better God never made; a wonderful worker, so loyal and true, one in a million - that person was you. Just in your judgment, always right; honest and liberal, ever upright; loved by your friends and all whom you knew. Our wonderful friend - that person was you. A sweet little flower, nipped in the bud, no grief or sorrow knew; just came to earth to win our love and then to Heaven withdrew. No stain was on your little heart, sin had not entered there; and innocence slept sweetly on that pale white brow so fair. And have you gone, forever gone and left us here to weep. Till we are called to follow you, and in the grave to sleep. Your memory is as dear today, as in the hour you passed away. OBITUARIES
