Obituary for Mildred B. HoustonShe openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. Prov 31:26-31

We know not the way that's before us,
The joys or the grief it will bring;
What clouds are oer hanging our future,
Or what flowers by the wayside may spring.
But there is one who will journey beside us
Nor in weal or woe will forsake.
And this is our solace and comfort,
He knowth the way that we take.
