"Oh, Ella how we miss you here, There's none your place can take Our sister, friend, so kind and true, It seems our hearts will break. "Up yonder where the Savior is, We see you who eased the care Of the sick, and tired here on earth, So calmly resting there. "We'll clasp your hand on yonder shore, Where we'll know as we are known The flower that huddled here below, We see up there, full blown. "No more your heart will know an ache, Nor sorrow ever come, You lived for others here below, Your work on earth is done. "Our last good bye, we now shall say, And look beyond this vale of tears, To the glad re-union we shall have, Where comes no doubts nor fears. We will meet you in the morning, Over on that golden shore, And we'll sing His praise forever, Up where dying is no more. The body was laid to rest in the Protestant cemetery in Ontario, Oregon, to await the resurrection of the just. Our sister, Mrs. Blair lives on in the hearts of her friends.
