EULOGY: Poem read at Ora's funeral:
Romeo Ward Chapel
Romeo, Colorado
2 pm May 25, 1955
I do not ask to walk smooth paths
nor bear an easy load.
I pray for strength and fortitude
to climb the rock strewn road.
Give me such courage I can scalethe hardest peaks alon,
And transform every stumbling block
into a stepping stone.
