The bereaved family have the deepest sympathy of their many friends and 
neighbors.

"In the valley of the shadow,
Where your soul is bowed today
In deepest sympathy, dear friend
I enter, if I may.
Though words avail so little,
I long to say to you
That in your hour of sorrow,
My heart is heavy too.
But when in days to come, we too,
Shall reach the unseen land,
Where better partings are no more,
Perhaps we'll understand."
