Dad has greeted Mom with open arms and a fishing pole. He has waited patiently for nine years to share their favorite pastime together. In their wedding book is a poem that truly represents them. It reads:
It’s we two, when the days are bright
It’s we two, in the stormy weather.
Facing the world with its work and strife.
Fearing naught of its pain and blight.
Sharing the burdens and joys of life
For it’s we two, we two together.
So now, our dearest Mom, you are with Dad again for that’s where you truly belong – the two of you together for eternity.

May Elene Read RIP, "...Everything he has made pretty in its time. Even time indefinite he has put in their heart... I have come to know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good during one’s life; and also that every man should eat and indeed drink and see good for all his hard work. It is the gift of God."Ecclesiastes 3:10-13" The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, ... to a resurrection of life." John 5:28,29
