We are indebted to Hildegarde Van Waveren for the following message of comfort:

The Blessed Dead

“How blessed the dead who die in the Lord,
For their works do follow them "thus saith" His Word.
Though we cry out in anguish and dark is the way,
We know that He giveth us strength for the day.

This comforts the heart, though tears dim the eyes
Of him who on God's precious promise relies.
So may we look upward, our hope fixed on God,
And follow the pathway our loved one has trod."
