GARCIA -- NELLIE M. September 8, 1925 - July 16, 2007 In Loving Memory Safely Home I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief are over, Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! but Jesus' but Jesus' love illumined Every dark and fearful glade. And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; and with Jesus' arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, for I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father's Will. There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand; Do it now, while life remaineth- You shall rest in Jesus' land. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come! Mom, I know this was your favorite poem. On this first year after leaving us, we wanted to dedicate this to you. We miss you with all our hearts. You're always with us. All our love, Judy, Harlie and family.

LEATHERS -- DAVID C. Born July 16, 1926 - Died February 8, 2008 The Clock of Life The clock of Life is wound but once and no man has the power to tell just when the hands may stop at late or early hour. To lose one's wealth is sad indeed, to lose one's health is more, to lose one's soul is such a loss that no man can restore. The present only is our own. So live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in tomorrow, for the hands may then be still. (author unknown) Although you've only been gone 5 months, it feels like eternity for those you left behind. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" from your loving wife and family.
