Dear Dr Van Waters We have given thanks to every one for your return to us here at Framingham
As for myself Doctor, I humbly kneel, each night & give thanks to your "Mother" Mrs Maude Van Waters
God alone was very just when he called her to his side, before the trying days of the hearing.
He had a purpose in mind. He wanted your dear Mother to have a place aside of him in Heaven as that she may be able to watch over & guide your every moment of the day & night.
"Mighty is the Hand that rocked the Cradle." & it was her hand that rocked you when you were an infant & from her place in Heaven with your Dad her hand is still outstretched guiding you, giving you the health & strength to carry on your great works for the forgotten Women of the 48 states.
Framingham was her home to us all who loved & knew her she was Mother Van Waters and Dr Van Waters it is to her we humbly owe our words of thanks.
