“All that is best in life
Always I wish for you,
All that means happiness
All the year through
And though I don’t know
How to say all you mean to me,
I know my happiness
Always is you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Verona
Nov 4, 1938″
I came across the following treasure of a love story between Ronald and Verona. The cards span from 1937 to 1968. The one clue as to their last name was in a card labeled by their small son, Scott, when he put his full name as little ones do when they are learning to write. Curious, I found more information about them on familysearch.org. There, their daughter, Jan, added photos of this family giving additional life to the cards. Immerse with me as we travel in awe at their devotion to one another. Mystery still surrounds the cards such as what happened to Scott and Jan. And how did I end up with this special song of the heart.
