Bill, Tom and Families,
I learned of Beaulah’s death when Mom and Dad cam to visit us last week. How ironic that she died on my birthday.
I remember fondly the years that we shared our love of ‘good’ church music as members of the Trinity choir. What a wonderful gift she shared with her beautiful soprano voice. When she and Viola Owenby and Agnes Whitman teamed up, there was not anything that they could not do.
She was a beautiful example of a true Christian lady!
Though I had not seen her for some years, I still share in your collective loss.
We remember you all in thought and prayer.

Dear Tom & Mary Jo

Our love,
David & Jean Moore
We are saddened by the death of Mrs. Harrison. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
With deepest sympathy.
I went to school with Bill and Tom. Remember when they lived on Dorchester.
Der Bill and Tom: What a great loss this world has taken. Your mother was tops in everything. I will never forget her kindness when I visited your home as a child. May God bless and keep her forever in his bosom and on his right hand along with all the other saints.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family Of Mrs. Harrison. She was always kind when ever we met. May God bless her memory
