An excerpt from a passage my Grandmother wrote in 1979 that was included in the program:
Great is Thy Faithfulness
Father God, whose we are, and to whom we all go, we rest in Thee - content. For we know nothing can come our way except by Thy will or consent. No experience or circumstance can overwhelm us, for we have Thy strength to uphold us and Thy comforting love to console us. There is nothing to fear save separation from Thee, and - praise be - that fear is swallowed up in Thy promise that nothing in this world or the next can ever separate us from Thee.
And so we rest - content.
My favorite floral arrangement was fittingly so the one from all of us sixteen grandchildren--pink & purple were Grandma's favorite colors.

Part of Grandma Donnie's legacy.
