CARD OF THANKS
The lyopta Camp Fire Girls
would like to express their thanks
to the Coterie Club for their do-
nation. It is appreciated very
much. The lyopta Camp Fire
Girls.
CARD OF THANKS
Thank you sincerely for your
tokens of affectionate sympathy
for us at the time of Hose’s death.
We shall always cherish them in
our memories of you and shall
treasure, as he did, your many
kindnesses to him during his life.
—Mr .and Mrs. W. B. Avery, Major
and Mrs. B. R. Moon, Mr. and
Mrs. Bob Young, Neva and Julia
Rees.
CARD OF THANKS
If you have never been in the
hospital and had friends bring you
flowers, gifts, and food, you do not
know what I mean when I say,
“Thank you.” Thanks also to Dr.
Walling and the nurses. It is much
nicer, I think, to have people do
things for you that you know,
sure was nice to have good food
served in bed, also it was nice to
discuss my old home town with
someone who still lives there.
Thanks to everyone. — Ila Fay
Black.

through visits, gifts, cards and
flowers. May God bless each of
you as He has blessed me is my
prayers.—Mrs. Ben Campbell.
