To the Stone Family:

Helen's classmates wish to convey to you our deepest sympathy.

Although many of us started school together in the early years we were divided in our freshmen year of high school. Our friendships continued through the years upon graduating from separate high schools and through out our adult lives.

May God's love surround you during this time of sorrow.

The Graduating Class of 1968
