On January 7th, 1934, at 2:30 o'clock in the morning, death again saddened the home of Mr. Dow Caldwell by calling away his beloved wife, Mrs. Helen Miller Caldwell. Mrs. Caldwell leaves to mourn her death, her husband and three children, a father and mother, eight brothers and four sisters, and a host of other relatives and friends. In memory of Mrs. Helen Caldwell we submit that God the Father of us all saw fit to send His Death Angel again to earth for the calling away of one of His precious possessions. Not a long while here did she proclaim the life of Christ; yet how beautiful were the words that braved the way and said "I'm not afraid to die." With mourning and sorrow we grieve to see friends and loved ones called to go. Yet God, in His creation, knew well how things must flow. Do not grieve, dear parents, for you know that your loved one has gone to dwell with Jesus in a beautiful home. Oh, sweet were her words to say she'd be at rest when gone. How patient her waiting to the bidding that did come quickly when she'd have to go - just waiting for the meeting of Jesus and answering the invitation once and forever more.

Don t let them say I wasnt born, That something stopped by heart, I felt each tender squeeze you gave, Ive loved you from the start. Although my body you cant hold, It doesnt mean Im gone, This world was worthy, not, of me, God chose that I move on. I know that pain that drowns your soul, What you are forced to face, You have my word, Ill fill your arms, Someday we will embrace. Youll heat that it was "meant to be God doesnt make mistakes, But that wont soften your worst blow, Or make your hearts not ache. Im watching over all you do, Another child youll bear, Believe me when I say to you, That I am always there. Therell come a time, promise you, When you will hold my hand, Stroke my face and kiss my lips, And then youll understand. Although Ive never breathed your air, Or gazed into your eyes, That doesnt mean I never "was" An angel never dies.
