�Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair;
perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so we saw it there; perhaps
you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say; perhaps
you were not there at all, just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much
whatever the part.�
We dedicate this bulletin to the memory of Brother Raymond E.
Morse as we record his Passing in our Lodge of Sorrow.
