Up to within a few days of her passing she cherished the hope that health would be restored to her, but when, growing steadily weaker, she became convinced that the end was at hand, she calmly and cheerfully resigned herself and spoke of her departure with the utmost composure. To her death had lost all terror. She knew to her it was but a birth into glorious immortality -- into a land of eternal sunshine and bloom.
