In Memoriam 

Whereas, God, in his infinite wisdom, has called our member and fellow co-worker, Barbara A. Cross, to her Heavenly Home, the Berne Volunteer Fire Company Auxiliary acknowledges the service that she performed for the organization in her many years of membership. 

And whereas, she was a good friend and faithful member with unequaled community spirit, we wish to express our grateful thanks for her life among us, knowing too that she will be greatly missed. 

Also we wish to express our heartfelt sympathy to her family at their time of loss by sending them a copy of this resolution, which is being published in the Altamont Enterprise, and spread upon the minutes of the regular meeting.
