In Apreciation
In apreciation to all friends and neighbors, for all the prayers, cards, letetrs, gifts and especially those who helped replace the re¬ quired blood during Hedy's illness, our deep gratitude.
It seems friends and neighbors are never appreciated until we face a crisis. I personally know cards or letters every day, and every day, do a lot for morale when ywi are in the hospital.
I'm sure you will be glad to knovv that Hedy has been conval¬ escing since Wednesday, April 18. at her sister's in Clarendon Hills. She will be home here in Huntley May 3rd and will be on the "Take it easy list" for some time.
Again may I express both my own and Hedy's gratitude and thanks for all the siriendld morale and physical support from you, our own friends and neighbors.
My thanks and sincere gratitude,^ Wally Leonard.    ^
