She was a woman of exquisite refinement and personal charm and a gentle graciousness that won everyone that ever met her. Her charity for all the world never failed, and she was never known to speak a word of unkind criticism, or to leave undone an act of kindness that was possible for her to do for others. She will be long and deeply mourned in this community so long blessed with her gracious lovely presence, not only by her loved ones, but her hundreds of friends, and her passing in that other world, where she will the reward promised to such true and faithful (sic) will long cast a shadow over the many here she leaves to sorrow for her loss.
