The flaming wreckage of a heli-

wreckage strewn over a field.
The camera panned over blood-

NEW YORK — Now that
Katie Couric is making the

legacy and the future of CBS

that, according to a new poll,
prefers to see her in the morn-

leaving NBC’s “Today” show
to become anchor and manag-

audience at “Today” is about 6

It’s good to know that life goes on beyond this
world that we know. Our love ones are in
a place where happy times are there to stay;
No more sadness, no hurt or pain,
because God wipes all your tears away.
And ... life is celebrated forever and a day.
Celebrating the life of our love, whose birth
we celebrate on this day. We celebrate with joy in our hearts
not sadness, because we know her life was lived to the fullest,
filled with happiness and for that we are happy, we
are truly blessed; We celebrate this day with large smiles on
our faces. Rejoicing because we know she’s smiling back down
seated next to the Almighty in Heavenly places.
So we look up to Heaven to send you this special birthday wish.
And we sent it off sealed with a kiss!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRAN!!!

officials refrain from reporting heli-
