The following lines were written by her sister, Mrs. F. T. McKinley of Massena:
Dearest sister you have left us
For you happy golden shore,
But we hope to meet you there
When our days of life are over.
Long, lonely hours she watched and waited,
Her mother's face to see,
Until her mind was taken,
We know not the reason why.
But God our Heavenly Father
Doeth all things well;
Calm and serene was she
Waiting the time to come.
Patiently waiting for the day
When she should be called home.
