place a layer of hash brown pota

We would like to pay tribute to
our mother Alverna. Mom is an
excellent cook and baker. A mem
ory we have is when we traveled
home from Boston, at that time.
John was in 1-W service. We
lookedforward to seeing the fami
ly, and eating the wonderful treats
mom left on the table for us. The
shoo-fly pie and the Swedish
molasses cake . . . urn good. Mom
is a gifted genealogist, writer, and
story-teller. Mom is a blessing to
all of us.
