• Notes

  Burkhardt - Nellie Mardell Burkhardt, aged 9 y. 3 m. 3 d., was of a pleasant nature and had a ready smile for those she knew. She leaves her sorrowing parents, one brother Donald, and one sister Joan, a great-grandfather, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and a host of friends. Our Father has let us have Nellie for nine happy years. The sunshine of her smile will always stay with us and give us courage to go on. He was called her home but has promised that we shall see her in that better land. Hers is a larger life and He knows best. The Lord was her shepherd, and she did "not want;" and even with her limited powers she had here task and did it. Since we have so much more, can we, like Nellie, live up to His expectations? "There is a word of grief, the sounding token, There is a word bejewelled with bright tears; The saddest words fond lips have ever spoken A little word that breaks the chain of years." The funeral services were held at the home of the parents in Bridgeport, Ont., Bro. C.F. Derstine spoke on the "Ministry of the Handicapped." Texts, Jno. 9: 3 and II Cor. 12: 1-10. Interment at the Mennonite Church Cemetery, Kitchener, Ont. Gospel Herald - Vol. XXVI, No. 18 - August 3, 1933, Page 383
