And when her work on earth was done He called her home to rest. Her life was unselfish, For others she lived, Not for what she could get, But for what she could give. She had smile for every one, A heart as good as gold; To those who knew and loved her. Her memory will never grow old. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our hearts Which never can be Alled.

Although your soul is now at rest And free from care and pain, The world would seem like heaven If we had you back again. We only ask to live each day, So when our work is done. We will see our darling mother In God's home beyond the sun. For all of us she did her best. God, please give her eternal rest.
