This is the Springtime of the year when everything about us speaks of life:
and yet in the midst of life we are also called upon to follow loved ones
to the "Silent Acre". And in an hour like this we find consolation
in Christ, who is our Comfort. We come in the faith that He who is everywhere
present, who fully knows every human need and who commands all the resources
of power, will sustain and comfort you by His presents and grace, if you
put your trust in Him. Has he not said:
"I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." (Josh. 1:5).
Oh how changing life is! Once joy and then sadness. But Christ says: "My
grace is sufficient." To-day we follow a youth and then again an aged.
Longfellow once said:
"How beautiful is youth! how bright in gleams
With illusions, aspiration, and dreams!
Book of beginnings, story without end,
Each maid a heroine, and each man a friend!"
Yes, although we knew Jeanette was known to be seriously ill, we had hopes,
and miracles can happen. Yet, she was called by the Eternal Gardner to
bloom for Him in Gloryland.
Jeanette Ruth, daughter of Henry and Emma Vieregge, came to brighten their
home in Norwalk, Wis. 16 years, 5 months and 25 days ago, namely, on Oct
25, 1925 and began her life in Glory from the Lutheren Hospital in LaCrosse,
Wis. on April 19, 1942 at about 3:40p.m.. The reason for her going so early
in life was Leukemia.
Jeanette was reared in a Christian home, dedicated to the Lord through
Holy Baptism, a member of the Sunday school all her life, graduating from
Catechism and with 11 other young people joined the Emmanuel Evangelical
church May 14 1939. She also belonged to the Young People's union of the
church and for a number of years sang in the choir. Her pastor wished to
leave his testimony, that having had her as a student in Summer Bible school
and Catechism, found her very energetic and loyal, willing to learn and
make progress.
Jeanette was to complete her Junior year this spring in the local high
school. The testimony from students and faculty is:
Although Jeanette was known to be seriously ill, her death came as a great
shock to her teachers, her class-mates, and her fellow students. As a student,
Jeanette was conscientious and sincere in her work, and was often commended
for her neatness. She was active in varous school activities, having participated
in band, orchestra, and glee club work since these activities were organized.
She was interested in dramatics, and about two months ago acted the leading
role in the Junior class play despite the fact that, even then, her health
was failing. She was always ready and willing to do her part in promoting
school spirit and worth-while school activities. The deep gloom which has
shrouded the school since the news of her death is evidence of the esteem
in which she was held by her fellow students and teachers.
