Here lies the body of Lois Spears, / Born Lois Fluke, daughter of Willard Fluke, / Wife of Cyrus Spears, / Mother of Myrtle and Virgil Spears, / Children with clear eyes and sound limbs --
(I was born blind)
I was the happiest of women / As wife, mother and housekeeper, / Caring for my loved ones, / And making my home / A place of order and bounteous hospitality:
For I went about the rooms, / And about the garden / With an instinct as sure as sight, / As though there were eyes in my finger tips --
Glory to God in the highest.
