The following ia a tribute to the memory of Mrs. J.E. Vincent.

For three score years and more Mother gaave of herself unstintingly, gave her 
love, service and devotion to her family.  Her delight was in her home, her 
children and her children's children.

Today, our tears are grateful ters, because God let us have her so long.

Precious memories of her love and her loyalty come as a solace for our grief.

In the words of an author who said it so well, "We abow in humble submission 
to the will of our Father who does all things well, knowing that for her it 
is a gain while for us who linger here ye, a little while, it is an irreparable 
loss.  But heaven gleams through the mists, and there is that within us that 
tells of a hereafter and shispers Eternity."
