Put aside her rocker, she will not need it again. Into Heaven she’s entered, never to sigh or weep; After long years of life’s struggle - Mother has fallen asleep. Rest tired feet forever, dear tired hands so still; blast of the earth shall no longer, throw over our mother a chill. Angels through Heaven shall guide her; Jesus will still bless and keep; not for the world would I wake her – Mother has fallen asleep. Forgive me if I did not cry, the day that you died; the simplest reason that I know, you’d said you’d rather have it so – that I held my head serenely high, forgive if I did not cry! (Forgive me if I did).” - By children of Mary ELLIOTT.  Sources for this information: The Current Wave, May 11, 1988.
