I cannot say, and I will not say

That she is dead.—She is just away!
With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand,

She has wandered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very fair

It needs must be, since she lingers there,
And you—O you, who the wildest yearn

For the old-time step and the glad return.
Think of her fairing on, as dear

In the love of There as the love of Here;
Think of her still as the same, I say:

She is not dead—she is just away!!

James Witcomb Riley

The funeral was held at the E. Carl White funeral home in Des Moines last Monday with burial being made in the Penn Center cemetery. Rev. Walter Coons conducted the services.
