She did all in her power to make home a place of joy and gladness. She was a woman loved and admired by all who knew her, for in her gentle and cheerful way she soothed and brightened the lives of those about her. She assured her friends she was perfectly reconciled to meet her Savior. She talked a great many times of her mother who had gone before and how great would be their meeting although she could not speak after 8 o'clock a.m. She was conscious until the last breath left her.
