' Then Diane Dennis read the following poem to Laura from friends at'Duff's United Church. We are certain Laura you must be excited To be 'showered by the ladies of Duff's United And because this is something that we always do, You must have known for sometime it would happen to you. We have all known you Laura since you were a baby, And watched you grow up into quite a young lady. We watched as you lost all of your baby fat, Stopped talking in church and kid things like that. You started to Sunday School as a very young tot, We're sure your Dad being a tether helped. youalot, '!'nen it was rublic School and then on to high, A short stint at College, how the years flew by. And then to us all, it became quite clear, That you had decided on a nursing career, At Wingham hospital, the ground work was laid, And you graduated a fine Nurse's Aid. It's also well known that you know how to. bake, From exquisite desserts to cookies and cakes. But to have this ability we guess isn't strange, Foryour Mother was always at home on the range. In reading your history as written above, One night think you'd had no time for love. But this isn't true for as we recall, There were quite a few boys before you met Paul. But all of these things, we'll leave lost in the past, For we're sure that with Paul, you've found love that will last, And we're never more proud of one of our own, Then when they're happily married and start a new home, And now from everyone here, we want you to know, That our'best wishes go with you where ever you go. . And may the gifts that we offer, though the values not high, We'll remind you of Walton as the years go by.
