A host of friends were gathered to pay their last respects to her and witness the beautiful and impressive service of the Rebekah order.
And so Good-By! good-by! thou faithful soul!
From toil and trouble thou hast earned release,
Thy weary feet are resting at the goal,
The pain of living ended in God's peace.
Lula Lord
