IRENE PIEL BATTS
APRIL 22, 1939 ~ MARCH 14, 2010
By now many of you may have heard that we lost our "Most Beautiful ~ Class of 1957". Irene fought a long, courageous battle with cancer for nearly two years. Her darling daughter Amy was at her side nearly every step of the way. She could use all our love and support at this difficult time.
There will be a visitation at Lange's Funeral Home in Ballinger Wednesday night, March 17th from 6 - 7 pm. A memorial service will be held at the First Presbyterian Church in Ballinger the next day, Thursday March 18th at 2:00 pm.
She is now at peace, and suffers no more.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.
