They had two daughters, Olivia Reed and spouse of Maine and Lynn Hastings and spouse of Texas; grandkids, Bonnie Allen and spouse of Texas, Samuel Daigle of Gillis, Elizabeth Daigle of Texas, and Christopher Award of Texas; four great-grandkids, Andrew Carter of Texas, Zowy Allen of Texas, Sebastian Daigle of Gillis, and Cooper Award of Texas.

    The Master's Bouquet

The Master walked in His garden,

Plucking flowers along the way, 

He plucked one of my loved ones,

To add to his bouquet.

My heart at first was broken,

At loss of one so dear,

But the tears I shed just washed my eyes,

So I saw his way more clear.

My Lord has a need for just this one,

For the pattern He has in mind,

But it's hard for the rest of us to see

Why we must be left behind.

Perhaps we are not ready to go just yet,

We need to ripen more.

To reach the full blown fragrance

My Lord is waiting for.

To each give forth a fragrance

To each we chance to meet

We should each be trying day by day

To make our fragrance sweet.

So I'm going to try my very best

To be loving and kind each day.

So at last I'll be counted worthy

To be part of my Master's Bouquet.
