TWO OF THE BEST

We were a small town, and a small class. There wasn't anything extraordinary about us as people,....... but then again, there was! Somewhere along the line we all had Mothers and Fathers that stayed committed to stay together as a family. They lived together and taught us the principles of what being a family of good, sound character was all about! There were 21 of us that started off in first grade together, and 21 out of 59 that graduated together in 1965! Two of those same friends sent me notes after David died, expressing how sad they were for me, for David's death. Neither Robert nor Del had ever met David, but because we had always been close as children, and our parents had taught us that this is what you did, they followed their parents example and sent me notes! These are traits you don't learn on the bathroom walls either!
Del's Mother always wore white gloves and was the ultimate lady!
Robert's Mother had a wonderful voice and could arrange flowers beautifully!
These two ladies could always make you feel welcome, and their two sons have learned these characteristics of caring for others too.
We are, in the same manner, to be imitators of Jesus Christ, and to do unto others as we would have them to do unto ourselves!
I would say that these two have learned the lesson quite well, which makes them two of the best of the class of '65!
