"I loved Milton very dearly as yoa know, and my heart aches with you in your great loss. I have been thinking a great deal the last few days of Milton's dear sweet face as he looked up at me in Sunday school at Mt. Zion, when I was telling my little class stories about Jesus. He used to look like a pure, sweet angel as he listened about Jesus and his face was bright with love and faith. When I think of Milton now I remember the verse 'Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.' A loving mother knows better than any one else about the heart of her little son, but we could not help but know that dear little Milton was pure In heart, so sweet, so dear, and generous and kind, so happy and loving and smiling. Oh! my tears come as I think of him and that he has left us to mourn his loss. But we are sure that he is in Heavenl that he is seeing God and serving Him there. And can't you see how his dear face will brighten with joy when he welcomes you and his father and sister and brother and friends up there when God has called us up there; He cannot come to us but we will go to him."
Milton's father and mother, sister Fay and brother Franklin survive him. They appreciate deeply all the loving assistance and comfort rendered them during the last few days of his life. They sincerely thank all who helped them and those who sent the many beautiful flowers and assisted in the last service at the funeral.
