respect entertained for the deceased.

"Weep not for a mother deceased,
Our loss is her infinite gain,
A soul out of prison released
And freed from its bodily chain.
With songs let us follow her flight,
And mount with her spirits above,
Escaped to the mansions of light
And loged in the Eden of Love."
