As the rose, though withered and departed continues its fragrance, so your life shall continue its inspiration, and will be revered in loving memory by those who knew you in all the days to come. Jno 25:13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend" was the text for the funeral sermon, delivered by Rev. A.H.
