Roy always said you were his two favorite aunts and always stopped to see you when driving through. When Roy and I came to visit you I can see why he felt that way. Roy and I loved to call you and visit with you. I am so sorry for your loss. May God Bless.

Dean, I know your mom told me once this was her favorite song, thought you might enjoy this. Love you guys, Mozelle
’Tis a sweet and glorious tho’t that comes to me,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on;
Jesus saved my soul from death, and now I’m free,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on.
Refrain
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on.
Thru eternity I’ll live on;
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on,
Thru eternity I’ll live on.
When my body’s slumb’ring in the cold, cold clay,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on;
There to sleep in Jesus till the judgment day,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on.
Refrain
When the world’s on fire and darkness veils the sun,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on;
Men will cry and to the rocks and mountains run,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on.
Refrain
In the glory-land, with Jesus on the throne,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on;
Thru eternal ages singing, home, sweet home,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on.
Refrain
