In as years of life there must
have been many sorrows along
with the joys. So, in remembering
we will forget the sorrows and
think only of the joys. I shall
try here to enumerate them and
hope l have not forgotten any
that came your way.
First of all, you had to meet.
What a good thing for us five
kids that you did. You braved
many a struggle and came to
America to live. 1t must have been
a struggle in not being able to
ever talk English. Then you mar
ried and lived on a homestead
in Montana. That little shack
must bear many pleasant memoir
les of friends and small voices.
Your first born was a girl whom
God saw greater things for and
took to heaven as an infant which
must have caused great pain. Next
came a strapping son. He must
have made quite a howl coming
into the world; now he is grown
and has been a credit to the whole
family. Next was the blessing of
a daughter, stubborn but lovable,
and having many good qualities.
During the war of World War /,
/ son was the blessing. He is kind
md thoughtful in many ways and
/ JOY to have around at any time.
After a very depressing event, a
lail storm, a son is born again.
This one is strong willed and now
n the Navy but none the less
owed and admired by all. Next
anne a daughter, of whom / am
lot qualified to say much.
Now Dad is turning white mot

nd times are SO hard but there
more joy in store.
The third born is married and
o you gain a son who has proven
o be kind, good and always ready
or a laugh. Then the second born
married and you gained a daugh-
er. She has proven her worth in /
'eing thoughtful and good. And /
hen JOY of all joys, grandchild- I

mother. Next a grandson and
mother granddaughter. Later, G
mother grandson and another
granddaughter. These have all s
roven to be a source of great
