In conclusion I will say to the children, weep not as those who have no hope, but live up to Mother's teachings and example and we feel all will be well. May you look to him who doeth all things well, and say, "Dearest mother thou hast left us, But 'tis God who hath berht (berth) us, He can all our sorrows heal.
