From a newspaper Clipping held by Velma Ralfs/ Grant;

     We wish to express our thanks to the many people that sent cards

and gifts to mother while she was sick, to the hospital staff and 

Doctors, to the minister for all his prayers, and to all that thought 

of us in our bereavement.  You will always be remembered
