Always kind to us was mother,
Always good and brave and true.
Though her tasks were often heavy,
She would always see them through.
Never craved for fame or fortune,
Never sought the spotlight's glare;
Always working, sacrificing,
Never failed to do her share.
Now she's resting up in Heaven,
In that blessed land above;
Where there's no more pain or sorrow,
Only joy and peace and love.
H. Howard Biggar

She leaves her children all alone,
Without a mother's care.
And only memories are left,
The home seems bleak and bare.
She's sleeping in that last long sleep,
Yet love can never die;
And we who mourn will gain new hope
As days pass slowly by.
For God who cares for all His own,
Has taken her away,
To dwell in that eternal land,
Where all is perfect day.
H. Howard Biggar
703
Sleep, mother, in the kindly earth
And peace be with you there.
The Master now has called for you
To take you in His care.
And though our days be long and drear,
Our thoughts reach out to thee
And some day we may follow to
That Land across the sea.
We'll be together once again
Without an hour of strife
When God admits us through the door
To an eternal life.

Gone is a mother loved by all
Her soul is now at rest.
Sheíll sleep in peace-her work is done
A motherís work-the best.
Sheíll know the joy of perfect rest
In heaven up above
Where she may dwell contentedly
Protected by Godís love.
Our hearts may grieve that she must lie
Beneath the sacred sod
And yet we know she lives in peace
Within the house of God.

A husband mourns the loss of her-
A wife he dearly loved-
She leaves their home on earth to find
Another one above.
His heart will grieve with passing days
That his great love is lost-
He always has protected her
No matter what the cost.
Though he shall miss her loving ways-
Her kind and happy face-
He needn't worry lest she'll want
For God will take his place.
Marilyn Sanofsky
708
Sadness touches all we do-
Since our sister's gone,
Tears must fall when sorrow's new-
Even though faith be strong.
Parting brings it's shadows tall
Even though 'tis God's command-
But they'll disappear we know
Up there in Heaven's land.
For mortal life is ever so-
Both joys and sorrows blend
Into patterns that will glow
Unto the very end.
Margriet Gilkison
705
A husband grieves that she has gone,
Her child will grieve as well.
She leaves to find that sacred Land
Where she will always dwell.
She's found a peace that we on earth
Shall never know until
We follow as she travels on
According to God's will.
Her memory shall always live
Embedded in our soul
And yet we know within our hearts
That she has reached her goal.
Marilyn Sanofsky
707
Her work is finished on this earth
And now she is at rest
She lives within the sacred house
Among her Masters blest
Where all is peace and happiness
Protected by God's love;
No sorrow will befall her there
Within that Home above;
So do not weep that she has gone
Nor feel great despair
For someday we may also live
Within her home up there.
