O knihe

Excerpt from Tributes in Loving Memory, Mary Olivia Priest Robie: Born September 28, 1828, Died November 5, 1898

But finite minds cannot grasp such infinity of design and we can only see with our imperfect vision. We long for a sign, and sometimes to our doubting hearts a sign is given. Such has been the life and death of that loved one whose requiem is still sounding in our ears and whose funeral wreaths have scarcely faded.

Mary Olivia Priest Robie finished her allotted three-score years and ten. For seventy years she had been a blessing to her family and her friends. It is a significant fact that so many in speaking or writing of her personality, since her going, have said that bright spirit. To those who knew her so well and loved her so fondly, no Words can add lustre to her life. She was a liv ing embodiment of obedience to the command to rejoice with them that do rejoice and weep with them that weep. Sympathy was the key-note of her temperament, and icy for the happiness of one friend beamed from eyes dewy with tears for the grief of another.
