Obituary of Velma Leonne Hollatz

A Little Step Away To close the eye, to fall asleep, To draw a labored breath, To find release from daily cares In what we know as death… Is this the crowning of a life, The aim or end thereof? The totaled sum of consciousness. The ripened fruit of love? It cannot be, for works of God Are wrought for nobler ends. And those away continue on In the hearts of kin and friends. It cannot be, for they live on A little step away. The soul, the everlasting life, Has found a better day. D.J. Hanson There will be a graveside service on Saturday, July 30, 2016 at 2pm followed by a reception at Schafer State Park.
