The remains were laid to rest on Wednesday at Palestine Cemetery.  Too beautiful for earth was she, a flower so pure and sweet; She had gone to join the angels, that we hope one day to meet; she is waiting in that city where the lovely angels wait and when we cross the river We’ll meet her at the gate … NAB
