"Death rides on every passing breeze,
He lurks in every flower.
It is a path that all must trod,
If man would ever pass to God.
He liveth long, who liveth well,
All else is being thrown away.
He liveth longest, who can tell,
Of true things truly done each day."
Card of Thanks.
We desire to thank the neighbors and friends especially those of Westwood for the beautiful floral offerings and help extended in the loss of our dear husband and father.
