The Friend Who Ju t rand By

\X'hen trouble come your oul to try,
You love the friend who just" tand by."
Perhap there's nothing he can do--
The thing is ·trictly up to you;
For there are trouble all your own,
And path the oul mu t t;ead alone;
Time when love cannot mooth the road
, 'or friend hip lift the heavy load,
Bur ju t to know you have a friend
\X'ho will " rand bv" until the end,
\X!ho e sympathy ~hrough all endure ,
Who e warm handclasp i al-w'ay your ••
It help , omeway, to pull you through,
Although there' nothing he can do.
And o with fervent heart you cry,
"God bless the friend who ju t • tand by'!"

Alison Cetqh-Ann

It's hard to believe that the little girl who
was here just a minute ago has turned into
the woman that now stands before us.
Each day we thank God for giving you to
us and cherish memories of each day
gone by.

Long from now, when you look across this
page, we hope it reminds you of all the
great times we've shared as a tam ly. From
Grand Rapids, to Coral Springs; from
Rockford School of Dance, to All-County
Orchestra; from Mackinaw Island, to fun in
the sunny Keys; with imaginary friends,
and imaginative ones, too! We've had lots
of smiles, and a few tears ...
Alison, we know that you will achieve all
the successes to which you aspire. We
truly love you and are proud of the special
person that you are. Your whole hfe is in
front of you, and remember, all of us are
always behind you.
Love,
Mom & Dad
