June the* first brings back so
forcibly • year ago, for on the
night of June 1, 1948, the best
friend I ever had in this world,
went to her eternal home.
To say I think she wss the best
mother I could have had is none
too good for her.
Her example, advice and love,

will always help me to show my
love and appreciation by following
her example.
I thank God for such a mother.
