March Birthdays
In astrology, those born between March 1st and
20th are Pisces. These Fish are spiritual types
who feel comfortable in their introspective
natures. As passionate, romantic, creative
dreamers, they are charitable helpers who “go
with the flow.”
Those born between March 21st and 31st are
Rams of Aries. As the first sign of the zodiac,
Arians charge out of the gate with energy,
confidence, power, and zeal. As pioneers, Arians
are unafraid of the unknown. For these eternal
optimists, no odds are ever considered
insurmountable.
In Memory Of
Evelyn “Ruth” M.
Marion L.
Our deepest thoughts and sympathies go
out to the family and friends
"He spoke well who said that graves are
the footprints of angels.”
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
