It seems sad indeed that these dear parents are called to give up their last little one that had blessed and made happy their home for only 17 months, and they had previously given up four little ones. They had prayed so earnestly that the Chastening Rod might be stayed, and this little darling, the light of their home, be spared to them. Omar was a bright, sweet baby, and to know him was to love him, but it seems God's brightest jewels are only loaned to earth long enough for us to learn to love them, and to know that of "Such is the Kingdom of Heaven", while their hearts are sad and their home is lonely, they have the blessed assurance that all is well with Omar that he is "Safe in the Arms of Jesus", freed from his suffering, and he is watching and waiting for Papa and Mamma, and the little tongue that was just learning to lisp in his sweet baby way, is now singing God's praise around the "Great White Thrown". May God comfort the broken hearts of the parents as only he can. --- Written by Mrs. Mamie GREGORY --- Additional Comments: Breckinridge County Cemetery Book, volume 1, published in 1991: Freedom Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
