A very beautiful and touching sermon that was full of love, hope and sympathy, was extended, after which Mr. Cutland, the sympathetic and courteous Undertaker of LaFayette, Ala., carefully placed the body in it's vault in the Penton Cemetery to await the call of the Master and Lord, in Whom she trusted, Who's voice shall be heard by all in their graves, for He is the Resurrection and the Life, and has overcome death to give life to all who love Him.
She was a kind and loving wife, a tender and affectionate mother, kind to friends and strangers, devoted to the Savior and church. Sweet memories of mother are enthroned in the hearts of loved ones, a hope steadfast and sure, "Mother awaits the home coming of love ones to a Heaven Glorious, Lovely and Pure."
May God's richest Blessing rest upon all the sorrowing family and friends.
Rev. & Mrs. W. R. Williams
