Mother has gone to be with Jesus
We will miss her presence here
But she's singing with the angels,
Let us meet her over there.
Weep not dear children, I am resting
In the arms of Jesus sweet,
And when the toils of life are over,
Come and make heavenly home complete.
Funeral services were conducted by Bros. Sylvan Dawson at the Richwoods church, with burial in the Richwoods cemetery.
