Dear Bob, Robbie and Ronnie,
I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. I am going to try to make it on Thursday morning if we can get into town in time.
Please know that our family will be praying for you. Although Daddy was sick only a short time, we know how difficult these past few years have been for your family. I want you to know that Daddy thought a lot of your mom and always had nice memories to share with us.
We Love You,
Tracy Owenby Briggs
Just a note to say how sorry I am for your loss. Bob, you will be in my prayers.
