faithful wife, assisted by her mother and other loved ones and the best medical
skill, could do was done to relieve suffering and restore health, but in vain.
The clock struck the hour, the curtain fell and the day was done. To him we
must say with the prophet of God, "Thy sun shall no more go down.”
