We are but clay in the hands of the Potter Clay formed from dust by our Heavenly Father. Each one He makes is from a new mold None ever duplicated and none ever sold. May the Potter make this miry day anew, bidding my old self ad due less of me, more of Him To rise above this earthly din.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Smith Funeral Home, 1208 S Main St, Sapulpa, OK.
