September 23, 1947 - November 29, 2002
One night in deepest sleep,
I dreamed,
Upon the beach I walked.
The Lord was by my side
Each step
As quietly we talked.
Then on the sky my life appeared;
Each chapter was serene.
Two sets of footprints in the sand
I saw every scene.
And then I notice in some parts
of discontent and strife,
Just a single pair of footprints
in the worst times of my life.
"Lord, you said you'd walk by me
In good times and in bad.
Why then weren't you with me
When you knew that my life was sad?"
"My dearest child, God whispered,
when you suffered then, I knew;
the single pair of footprints
were those times I carried you."
We, the family, are deeply grateful for the many expressions of sympathy and every act kindness shown toward us during our time of sorrow. Your comforting concern will remain in our memories. Thanks so much for caring...
