  • Notes 
    • In Memoriam
      Schaefer - In loving memory of our dear Lillian who fell asleep in Jesus four years ago Oct. 25th.

      As some sweet blossom droops and fades,
      While blighted by the frost,
      She faded from before our eyes
      And all too soon was lost.
      But in God's garden, free from pain,
      Where grow His fairest flowers,
      We know what we will find again
      This vanished bloom of ours.
