My wishes
To my children:
Be not sorrowful that I am gone and my earthly life is done.
Be not said I passed away. For in you, my children, I live each day.
There is a little of me in all of you. In each new one I live anew.
So you see, I'll never be really gone. As long as there are children to carry on.
I've had my share of love, sorrow and strife. I have lived a full and fruitful life.
So do not mourn, and do not weep. For I have earned this peaceful sleep.
Mother. My love to all...Mabel H. Vogel
