the life I live without you will do
your heart good to see.

If it were not for the helping hand
of the Y. M. C. A. in keeping us in
touch-with things loving and beau- i

a very hard road to travel. You must |
think well of our foster mother of

hardships for your son in helping the

"I am doing my best to keep your
home from becoming like the homes

May your smile be as full of sun

when I left you, for I am coming
home, mother, if not on earth I will
see you in a more beautiful Home.
