Card of Thanks
Mr. and Mrs. C.R. Bruner take this method of expressing
their appreciation for the many kindnesses shown them during the illness and
death of their beloved infant, Norman. The following verses written by a
neighbor are highly appreciated by the family:
Why was he taken—the baby dear?
Is he gone to a land that is so far?
Sure he was our love, our hope, our cheer,
Thank God he’s in Heaven, our shining star.
His cradle is empty here, we know;
His cooing, childish laughter is so still,
He’s up in Heaven where Angels go
We can only say, Jesus, have thy will.
“Mama and Daddy and all the rest
I’ll be in Heaven your bright shining star
Here for you in the land of the blest
A bright shining light that is seen afar.”
