Mrs. Bourgeois was a devoted daughter to her invalid mother, kind and affectionate to brothers and sisters, she will be greatly missed by them as well as by her friends, which were numbered by the hundreds.
She was especially fond of children, and nothing gave her more pleasure than to amuse a tired, sick child.
May her soul rest in peace.
