He also leaves one sister Mrs. Rachel McEdward of Greenfield and also 21 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. He was a good and loving Husband and will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. Theres another bright light in Heaven, Joined in the angel band, Theres one more released from suffering, Here in the shadow land. Oh loved ones why should you sorrow, Oh loved ones do not show grief, When you know he can never more borrow, The sufferings beyond relief. For in the garden of Gethsemane, Chirst knelt on his altar of stone, And prayed to his Father in heaven, For the sins which he must at one. He asked if it be possible, The bitter chalice of dregs to withold. And even in anguish and sorrow, His spirit was all fine and gold. He conquered and Lo! The victory was won, He said Father Not mine was won, But thy will be done, Eternal Faith and Eternal Love, Twin Lamps to our feet of Clay, May Gods Mercy grant that why walk Dear One, with you on your Dawning Day."

McEdward **************************************** _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2001 21:26:53 +0000 From: "Ralph W.

Mrs. Spurgeon loved her home and being of a very industrious disposition her hands were busy serving those she loved.
