Letter from Dorothy Gardyne to Hazel Shipman, June 12, 1924

Young Women's Christian Association 108 EAST COMMERCE STREET High Point, N. C.

My dear Mrs. Shipman,

You and the family have been in my thoughts and prayers many times during this past week and I want you all to know that my deepest

sympathy goes out to you in your great sorrow for by only my slight acquaintance with Mr. Shipman I can realize how much you will miss his cheerful presence.

One of the boys chose

Whittier's "Eternal Goodness" for the prize-speaking and two lines from it have been a constant reminder to my faith - in time of need.

I know not where His islands lift their fronded palms in air I only know I cannot drift beyond His love and care.

May your many pleasant

memories be a source of comfort and cheer.

Very sincerely, Dorothy Gardyne
