Here lies a faithful follower of her Lord, Who with a humble heart her God ador'd Of meekness, patience, gentleness possessed, Of wives, of parents, and friends the best. For liberal hand did feed and clothe the poor, Who often in distress approached her door, The Widow and the orphan found her kind, But few such friends to them are left behind, Affection warm and strong she did possess, The benefits of which how many miss, We weep, but will not murmur or complain, Since our loss to her is greater gain. Now her immortal soul hath taken flight, To dwell with saints in realms of glorious light.
