“Every person needs to know that they are ‘special’ to one or many other persons period on this Valentine Day it would be heartwarming to give ‘valentines’ to the lonely, those far from their own loved ones or from their own native lands, to a young mother who feels in need of encouragement and praise, to a newcomer in the ward.”

-Marianne C. Sharp, First Counsellor Relief Society General Presidency, 1945-1974
