Martha Jane Anderson: Words of wisdom
 The lady of all ladies, in our community is Gladys Emma Murphy. No one would challenge that statement. She and my daughter, Allison, are good friends. She shared this message with Allison years ago and we think you will love it too.
My Symphony by William Henry Channing...
To live content with small means...to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion...
To be worthy, not respectable and wealthy, not rich...
To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly...
To listen to stars and birds to babes and sages, with open heart...to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never...in a word to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common...this is to be my symphony...
This describes our Allison Roane Upshaw.
