Burial

Gma F. was buried in the middle of Nebraska surrounded by corn fields and under a mature tree with singing birds. Just the kind of place she would have enjoyed in life being a farmer's daughter from Montana.

Gpa F. said a few words at the cemetery. Daddy read the following poem that was hand written in a card from Harold and Bonnie.

One or the Other
One or the other must leave,
One or the other must stay.
One or the other must grieve.
That is forever the way.
This is the vow that is sworn.
Faithful till death do us part.
Braving what has to be borne.
Hiding the ache in the heart.
One, however adored
First will be summoned away.
This is the will of the Lord
One or the other must stay.

Thank you Harold and Bonnie for the beautiful poem. It really touched all our hearts.

While we grieve for ourselves that we are missing you here on earth Gma F., we rejoice that you are in Heaven and no longer suffering any pain.
