“Not, how did they die, but how did they live?

Not, what did they gain, but what did they give?

These are the units to measure the worth

Of a person as a person, regardless of birth.

Not, what was their church, nor what was their creed?

But had they befriended those really in need?

Were they ever ready, with a word of good cheer,

To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?

Not, what did the sketch in the newspaper say,

But how many were sorry when they passed away?”

Friends will be received on Saturday, April 27th, 2024 from 2-4 p.m. and 6 p.m. until the time of closing prayers at 8 p.m. in the GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME – 117 Blackhawk Road, Chippewa Township.
