HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAMA
SHIRLEY HEMMINGWAY 1-11-1955
I have a gift you cannot see of heartfelt love and memories. This spe- cial gift, the Angels bring is priceless though, weighs not a thing carried through the sunlit skies. On wings of doves and butterflies, a loving wish wrapped tight with love to one I’ve lost, living above.
Love, Audrey Hemmingway.
