Gratetully Acknowiedges Memorial Gitts 145 STATE ST. RE 9.4795 Springfield GEORGE B. AZZINI SON FUNERAL HOME 22 LOCUST ST. SPRINGFIELD A THOUGHT TO REMEMBER By George St. Pierre, Jr.

Different people have different attitudes toward people and life. Consider, for example. these two quotes. The first quotes Bishop Sheen who quoted Jean de Rougemont as saying. "TE my neighbor is stronger than fear him; if he is weaker.

I despise him; if we are equal, resort to subterfuge. What motive could have for obeying him, what reason for loving him?" The second quote is curiously enough from an unknown author: you're tired and worn at the close of the day, And things don't seem to be going your way, When even your patience has come to an end, Try taking time out and Confide In A Friend, Perhaps he too, may have walked the same road. With a troubled heart and a burdensome load, To find peace and comfort somewhere near the end, when he stopped long enough to Confide In A Friend, For they're most welcome a few words of cheer, For someone who willingly lends you an ear. No trouble exists that time cannot mend, But to get quick relief Confide In A Friend." Two entirely different attitudes. Which do you like best? George St.
