JUDY DIANE REGIER

<

Judy Diana, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gus H. Regier, Jr., was born November 2, 1941, and after a brief illness she left us suddenly to be with Jesus at 5:10 on Sunday morning, April 8, 1945, reaching the age of three years, five months and six days.

She brought much happiness and sunshine to us and everyone who knew her.

During her short stay upon this earth it seemed as if she had more than her share of suffering. She suffered bravely and willingly, and carried her cross with a smile.

In childlike faith she was looking into the future, when she told her little brother how some day they would play and go to church together.

When we recall the incidents of her last week we know the Lord was preparing her for her heavenly home.

The day before her passing she brought her little chorus book and as she sat besisde he rmother she asked ehr to sing the familiear choruss to her. she loved to sing the one, "I ahve the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, down in my hert," Now for ehr that joy is complete. She was also asked whom she lvoed and she answered, "Jesus, Leslie, Mommy and Daddy." Her lvoe for us we'll ne'er forget.

She leaves to mourn her early departure, her grief sticken parents, one borther, Leslie, her grandparents and a host of other relatives and friends.
