The fortitude with which she bore a long and painful illness, the tranquility with which she contemplated her gradual approach to the silent grave, and the affectionate solicitude with which she endeavoured to console and comfort her sorrowing friends, almost in the moment of dissolution, at once proved the excellence of her principles, the perfection of her character, and the goodness of her heart.

They, to whom she was most nearly related, and they, who had the happiness to share her friendship, can only estimate her worth or the magnitude of their loss; and they will long and deeply lament the early removal of one, whose maturity of judgement and excellence of disposition so eminently qualified her for every scene of life
