In Memory of Triumphant Past Grand Lullelia W. Harrison
Our fallen dove has taken flight,
Into the glorious Zeta Light
Though she will be missed, remember what’s true
God needs her more than you & I do
Her life was so full of wonders untold
Now the gates of glory her eyes will behold
Her day has now ended, she finished her test
At home with the Lord, in peace she can rest
