RESTING IN THE ARMS OF JESUS

The Death Angel visited the home of Mrs. Bettie Ward last Friday night 
and called away her own darling mother, Mrs. Caroline Meeks. Oh, it was so 
hard to give her up but the dear Lord knew where he had a vacant seat in 
heaven. She leaves to mourn her death one sister, one brother and four 
children, besides a large number of other relatives and a host of friends. 
She was loved by all who knew her. Her body was laid to rest beside her sons 
in the Cross Roads Cemetary.
Dear Grandma was eighty seven years, two months and seventeen days of age 
at the time of her death.
Weep not dear children, Mother is not dead, she is only sleeping in the 
arms of Jesus where no harm can reach her. And let us all try to so live 
that we meet her there where there can be no parting.
A Loving Granddaughter
