Thank You, Clinton
After a few years away from this town one
tends to forget the meaning of its warmth. I
have recently renewed my feelings for the town
of my youth. The kindness experienced in the pass
ing ot my beloved wife is a testimonial of the
1 riendliness, love and exceptional warmth that has
always been “our hometown."
1 he kindness and remembrances of the many
triends, acquaintances, and even those with whom
we were not acquainted, have inspired us and
given us the courage to bear our great loss.
1 would like to take this opportunity to say
‘ I hank you. ( linton. ''i ou will always he my home
t- iwn."
Most sincerely,
WILLIAM L. CHILDS.
