To: Bernice Morris
Happy 90th, to my mother, Bernice Morris, in Needles, California. Besides a whole passel of family coming from Texas, Arizona, and California, I know you're tickled that most of Needles will be there to celebrate with you, too. As the town's only florist for many years, you got to know them all from doing their weddings, funerals and proms. You still make a mean boutonniere, Mother. All our love to a great mom!
—Eileen Bailey
