No tribute is too great to pay this great woman. The courage and endurance with which she met hardships, trials, sorrows, and suffering was a wonderful inspiration to her family. Her patience, gentle way, and gentle love shown in raising her children was a thing of beauty. Her life was one of unselfish and untiring service to her God, her husband, her children, and her beliefs. She took great pains to teach her children to live clean, honest, honorable, upright lives, and toi stand loyal to the truth. She was indeed wise in taking her children to the farm, because the lessons of taking responsibility, cooperation with one another, accepting sun and wind and rain, facing discouragement, and making the best of what comes are best learned there. All of her children learned the joy of work. “To see death gently pronounce its benediction upon the fullness of years, to see it merciful hand remove the infirmities of one who has traveled long and become weary of the journey, is a hallowed experience.”
