In The Brightness of Tomorrow
“It’s a road we must all travel, as we journey through our life
When the flag of time unfurrels at the end of all our strife
Then the road runs smooth and wide
Sunshine days seem endless, like an ever-flowing tide
But the road gets tougher and our trouble hard to bear
Till we meet a loving partner our burdens to gladly share
In the evening of life’s story when we view the way ahead
Some regrets of never doing, and words that are left unsaid
Tears and gladness flow together, in a never-ending stream
Always there is laughter in the magic of our dreams
When at last we see the sunset, in the twilight of our years
Yet the sunset lifts our spirits as we near the vale of tears
In the brightness of tomorrow, hope of happier days ahead
In the brightness of tomorrow, and a joyful road instead”

Euphemia Connor wrote these words in the last days of her life to bring comfort to her family. We understood what she was telling us. This fine lady will be sadly missed by all who new her. May you rest in peace Ma Connor.
