Autograph Book owned by Lillian A. Coyle

Lillian A. Coyle [1911 - 1987] had a 1927 Autograph Book page signed by her Mother, Mary Jo (Mullane) Coyle

"May God direct you with Holy Happiness in the path of Life."

She had the autograph book when she was a young woman in New York City. I was given some pages from that book, signed by her mother, sisters & brother in law. It is wonderful to have the signatures!
