Blessed be her Memory God’s finger touched her and she slipped away, from
earth’s dark shadows to a brighter day. God saw the road was getting rough. The
hills were hard to climb. He gently closed her weary eyes, and whispered please
be thine to a beautiful garden this friend has gone, to a land of perfect rest.
Though she is gone she still lives on in the garden of memory.
