In loving memory of Osie Ola Hertzler Ziegler
September 26, 1918 – April 9, 2017
(She was 1 year, 6 months shy of her 100th birthday!)
It was a special service for a special lady. For those who couldn’t attend, I have included pictures of the cousins who were there, and a “Eulogy of Memories” by Laurie Kutchins, a long-time friend and neighbor.
An open grave ready to receive the ashes…
It was a dreary, rainy day and somehow that seemed fitting to reflect our loss.
Burial completed, it was time to go and celebrate her life and glorious homegoing.
Together, the assembly of friends and family joyfully sang in four-part harmony several of her favorite hymns.
Verse 1. “Lift your glad voices in triumph on high, For Jesus hath risen, and man shall not die….
Verse 4. But Jesus hath cheered the dark valley of sorrow, and bade us, immortal to heaven ascend. Lift then your voices in triumph on high, for Jesus hath risen, and man shall not die.”
