If only we could see the splendour of the land
To which our loved ones are called from you and me
We'd understand
If only we could hear the welcome they receive
From old familiar voices all so dear
We would not grieve
If only we could know the reason why they went
We'd smile and wipe away the tears that flow
And wait content.

God Bless and Keep You ''Aunt Ag''

My prayers go to the loving family of Cousin Agnes. She was my grandma Dorothy (Waszak) Ebenroth's cousin. She was a very sweet woman and I defineately considered her my cousin too. God Bless
