Middlesex; three sisters, Dera Rogers of Wendell, Susie Cordell of Rocky
Mount and Octavia Dunn of Middlesex; eight grandchildren; several nieces
and nephews; a host of other relatives and friends. In fears we saw you sinking and watched you
fade a way. Our hearts were almost broken, we wanted you to stay. But when
we saw you sleeping, so peaceful free from pain, How could we wish you back
with us, to suffer that again. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did
not go alone For part of us went with you, the day God took you home. The
Family
