SUNDAY FEBRUARY 16 1947 Aunt Cora here. Lee Bill and the kiddies here in the morning. In late afternoon we went to 2136 Brady. All family there. Think we may get Harold Thuener for attorney. continued a mother's devotion and responsibility, which was ex- tended also to those of the next generationwho called her by the pet name "Grosse" taken from the tongue she well loved. Those too she would mother and protect as a woman gathers her children in her arms. Nor was she unconcious of the city in which so many of the years of her life were passed, nor of the people in it. She has left the stamp of her interest, of her good works, and of her generous influence, where human mecessity of injustice demanded her help. An I must bear witness gratefully to her layalty to the church wo which she was tied affectionately by stongs bonds of inheritance and of pride in the contrib- ution that older ones of her fanily had given to that religious movement, in which she also evidenced her devotion to the local church in which she had invested so many years of activity. Those loyalties and devotions have gone with her to that resting place beyond the farden wall. I cannot think that when one follows deathe out into the mystery they leave behind all the treasures the heart will accumulate here, Nor do they go very far away where there is no longer knowledge of the familiar places or voices. While to us "They are not gone who pass Beyond the clasp of hand: They are but come so close We need not grope with hands Nor look to see, not try to catch the sound of feet. They had but pt off their shoes To softly walk by day, Within our thought, to tread At night our dream & led paths of sleep."
