To Sharon and Family,
As I prepare to attend your mom's service, I just want you to know that you have my sympathy today. The road has been a long one during her illness. Your dedication during that time meant a lot to her and it is good to know that there are not regrets on your part. God is a leaning post, and tho' millions have leaned on him, he avails himself to you this day and in the years to come. Our prayers are with you.

"God Needed an Angel in Heaven"
When Jesus lived upon the earth
so many years ago,
He called the children close to Him
because He loved them so...
And with that tenderness of old,
that same sweet, gentle way,
He holds your loved one close
within His arms today...
And you'll find comfort in your faith
that in His Home above
The God of little children
gives your loved one His love...
So think of your sweet darling
lighthearted and happy and free
Playing in God's Promised Land
where there is joy eternally.
