A place is vacant in her home that never can be filled. She had been in declining health for the past few years ,but serious -Ily ill for only a few weeks. She bore her suffering patiently with out murmur or word. In silence she suffered, in patience she bore until God called her home to suffemno more. All was done for her that loving children, doctors and nurses could do, but nothing could stay the cold hand 0 f death. The death Angel called and she answered, ‘Let me die.” She was always kind, loving and true to every one.
