privilege it is to be a christian in these
times of trial and have our hearts swell
with the sweet hopes that cluster around the
resurrection morn. Your mother was what we
may call a beautiful christian and we
are confident that she is now enjoying
a precious reward. We trust that the
Holy Spirit has given you grace to say:
"Thy will be done."

Truly you have much to be thankful
for, without exageration I can say that I
have met with few mothers whom I regard
the equal of yours. Praise His name that
she was given to you and permitted to
remain here so long. I was glad to read
the beautiful tributes paid to her memory,
more could have been justly said. Her
friendship will always be held in high
esteem as long as I have a memory.

You certainly have our sympathy, and
I pray that the Holy Spirit will manifest
to you His comforting power.
