Margarite Rose Blish Mallette Rash (1895 -1973)

The obituary for my great grandmother. Throughout her life there were routine miss spellings of her name, making looking for her all the more difficult.  Margarite is in fact her first name. To make it even more difficult was my mom's mom refusing to talk about her first husband, Lloyd.  The break through came by a chance finding of my cousin Terry. She is related through a sister of Lloyd.  I know this to be her obit because of the names listed. Lloyd Mallette was my grandfather. I made a request for a photo of her niche at Acacia Cermetery. I hope someone will fulfill my request thrugh Find A Grave.

Lloyd George Mallette (1914 - 1961)

My mom’s father. He is buried in Golden Gate National Cemetery. He died the month after my mom and dad were married. My mom only knew his name since my grandmother refused to talk about him.

Barbara Jean Mallette Weigandt (13 Mar 1943 - 10 Dec 2010)

My mom passed away last month. She is now without pain and is with our Lord. We miss and love you, tell everyone we said hello and we will be together again. 

Just Sleeping

Now the laborer's task is over;

Now the battle day is past;

Now upon the farther shore

Lands the voyager, at last.

There the tears of earth are dried;

There its hidden things are clear;

There the work of life is tried

By a greater judge than here.

"Earth to earth and dust to dust",

Calmly, now, the words we say;

Left behind, we wait in trust

For the resurrection day.

Father, in Thy gracious keeping

Leave we, now, Thy servant sleeping.

Ecclesiastes 12:7

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was;

and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
