who departed this life on March 28, 1969.
To my beloved husband, William E. (Bill) Turner, who
lived a simple, honorable life - also loved by all who
knew him, and who also died on March 28 - two years
prior - 1967.
Each believed and trusted our Living God. To their

You can now breath a sigh,
You have made your big try,
You gave it your all, yes, your best;
You stayed up at night,
Your nerves screwed up tight,
You conquered, survived the test.
As the coffee ran low,
You paced to and fro,
In puzzlement, you scratched your head;
No more tranquilize pills,
Or deductable bills,
Words that came to your mind best unsaid.
Did you jump from your bed,
Some plan flash through your head,
You thought you had something to gain;
Through a rig-a-ma-role,
Put your whole heart and soul.
But all that you gained was more pain?

So at last it’s completed,
Your strength is depleted,
The totals are there and you sigh;
Then you take one last look,
You check your bank book,
Stare the moment of truth in the eye.
In the old days they had,
Many things that were bad,
The whips, the stocks and the racks;
Now the torture’s refined,
For it’s all in your mind,
It’s called filing your Income Tax!
