over to the land beyond the blue.
Amid the ups and downs of the
years that have followed, we
have been made to fully realite
the truth of the saying that “a
boy’s best friend is his mother.”
We have gained many friends
and lost many friends, and have
met many whom we love, but
there is none can fill the void m

death of mother, and nothing
