Let me look Death in the eye and not wrestle with Him. For He, the stronger, would lustily laugh at my feeble push. I owe Death no favors – I have never flirted with Him, nor invited Him. Yet, before I was born, He awaited me, smiling his grasping smile. In His selfishness, there is one thought that he has neglected to face – He cannot keep me! For I am my Lord’s, and some day – some glorious day – with a triumphant shout, my Lord shall come to claim His own! Death! You have failed! “The Loser” By Lucille Sanders

The family would like to thank Community Hospice for the loving care given in the last few weeks of Betty’s life and in keeping with her wishes, she is to be cremated through the care of Geib’s Tuscarawas Valley Crematory and private services will be held by the family.
