While in meekness and sorrow we bow to the "divinity which shapes our ends." We yet deplore the sad calamity which so suddenly terminates her earthly labor and brought the eternal reward due to noble womanhood and christian (sic) character and we still may say, "Thy will be done." We also share with the husband and son, family and friends in their sorrow and sad bereavement, "Peace which passseth (sic) all understanding." (contributed by: Janet Isley Price)
