[Image of a pink rose at the top and bottom of the page] Hair gleaming like a silvery beam, A face, calm, compassionate, serene. Brown eyes gazing with a look of love. A person gifted by Him above.

On this day of triumph and bliss, I offer you my real, heartiest wish. May the years bring added joy to you. And all your hopes and dreams come true.

A person so rare deserves the best You have met life's hard test. God surely takes care of "Chosen Ones" You will have love in the years to come.

Congratulations to Dr. Van Waters

Words are such mundane things, A lot of letters - with spreading wings; But nevertheless they sometimes convey, A thought on a wish in a very small way.

So I'll take a few, and add them together But I shan't converse about "the weather"! Instead, I'll send congraulations To someone who deserves ovations.

Words can't express all my thoughts, They just help to say, "Thanks a lot" "For all the good you have done for me." Your work will go down in posterity!

Dr Van Waters. Our Own Dear Teacher -

To me she is a shining symbol of Hope - Valor and Honesty. As friend when a friend is most needed and appreciated. A Guid when the way seems twisted And uncertain. A Beacon in time of deepest trouble. An Advisor and teacher when decisions are hardest to make. A helping hand stretched out to grasp that of any girl here who would otherwise fall by the wayside. This is what in my mind Dr. Van Waters should mean to each one of her students.
