When God calls his children from earth to a better world above, 'tis an exchange of pain for pleasure and happiness.� How true this must have been of Mrs. Wiggins who had suffered so much, so patiently, awaiting the reward all are to receive who live in submission to Him.� She gave her heart to God when eighteen years old and joined the Baptist church at Swainsboro.� Later she joined the Christian church.� It seemed to be her highest aim on earth to live right, always patient and calm under the trying difficulties we all must face in life.� Her death was a great loss not only to her family, but to the whole community.� A neighbor in need or sickness was always sure of her ever ready helping hand. |

Truly this beautiful life of sacrifice and service was not in vain, but will linger in our memory for years to come, inspiring us to live closer to the Father. |
