In Memoriam for Aaron R Statum
In loving memory of my husband and our father Aaron R Statum who passed away one year ago April 9 1954. Sad and sudden was the call of one so dearly loved. We often sit and think of you and speak of how you died. To think you could not say goodbye before you closed your eyes. For all of us you did your best. Oh God grant you eternal rest from loving wife and family. No human beings agree upon the meaning of happiness.
