Teresa Rauch

Teresa Rauch, age 72 passed away on Wednesday, December 4, 2024. She is survived by her loving husband, Larry Rauch of Marietta. A celebration of her life will be observed privately. We ask that you think of the following pose as you reflect on her passing:

When I must leave you

For a little while-

Please do not grieve

And shed wild tears

And hug your sorrow to you

Through the years,

But start out bravely

With a gallant smile;

And for my sake and

In my name live on

And do all things the same,

Feed not your loneliness

On empty days,

But fill each waking hour

In useful ways,

Reach out your hand

In comfort and in cheer

And I in turn will comfort you

And hold you near;

And never, never

Be afraid to die,

For I am waiting for you in the sky!
