burns all the brighter more divinely as we grow older I know well how you feel for your tree family on the mountains, the
right kind of wealth ever blessing yourself with their life-giving beauty shade, innumerable others now hereafter who will
bless you in turn truly keep your memory green. Remember me to all your family Write to senators the President protesting
