Effie M. Thistle
Initiated Melrose Chapter No. 14
November 9, 1951
Called Home August 29, 2011
To a beautiful garden this sister has gone.
To a land of perfect rest;
Her work is done,
And the setting sun,
Has seated her life's long quest.
TO OUR ABSENT, ILL AND SHUT-IN MEMBERS
However deep the shadows
However dark the way
God's love is always with us
To lead us day to day.
That none may be forgotten, please notify the Worthy Matron or Secretary of
any joy, illness, sorrow or distress among our members.
