Announcements- IN MEMORIAM- In memory of our mother who passed away June 2, 1944: Mother, the stars are your eyes, Guarding us all night through; Mother, the winds are your sighs- Sighing when we are blue. Mother, the sun is your smile Warming us with its love, You're with us all the while Watching us from above. We hear your voice when the birds are singing Your heart-beats in the church bells ringing; Mother, the flowers are your dreams. You are all nature, it seems... Sadly missed by the Robert Mikkelson family.
