Home is not home, mother's not there.
Dark is her room, empty her chair.
Angels have taken her out of our care,
Lifted her over life's golden stair
Sleep, mother, sleep with your hands on your breast,
Poor weary hands, they have needed a rest.
Well have we loved you, but God loved you best.
Dear heart, he has given you a well deserved rest.
A short funeral service was held at the late home in Fullerton Friday for her friends there who wished to pay their last respects. Other services were held from the local Baptist church at 1 o'clock Friday with Rev. G. W. Stansbury officiating. The Rebekah lodge also took part in the committal services.
