With love from your family. -016681 Lois Daley Laycock Happy 80th Birthday September 3, 2004 -078012 Our friends are like angels, Who brighten our days, In all kinds of wonderful, Magical ways. Their thoughtfulness comes, As gift from above.

And we feel we're surrounded, By warm, caring love. Like upside-down rainbows, Their smiles bring the sun. And they fill ho moments, With laughter and fun. Friends are like angels, Without any wings. Blessing our lives, With the most precious things.

-094477 Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone. For sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own. Sing, and the hills will answer; Sigh, it is lost on the air, The echoes bound to a joyful sound, But shrink from voicing care. Rejoice, and men will seek you; Grieve, and they turn and go. They want full measure of all your pleasure, But they do not need your woe.

Be glad, and your friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all There are none to decline your nectar'd wine, But alone you must drink life's gall. Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by. Succeed and give, it helps you live, But no man can help you die. There is room in the halls of pleasure Fora large and lordly train, But one by one we must all file on Through the narrow aisles of pain. Ella Wheeler- Wilcos.
