JUST FOR YOU

Count your garden by the flowers. Never by the leaves that fall. Count your days by the sunny hours. Never remembering the clouds at all. Count your nights by stars, not shadows. Count your life with smiles, not tears. And when your life has reached its autumn. Count you age by friends, not years.

It is with awe and deep respect that I offer my sincere condolences to my "other Mother", Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lowe Jackson. While I was growing up in the same neighborhood Mrs. Jackson lived in, she offered the love care and protection that only a mother could give. I am forever in her debt for the kindness she was. My deepest sympathy and prayers for comfort to her family. George Glenn
