Louise and Other Family Members, As you know you and I started to school together at Vance School in 1932 and I remember Sandy as your older brother from those days. He had some of the red hair and freckles which distinguished him as an Arthur. Regardless of age, health, or any other circumstance we are never ready to give up our loved ones. The only comfort comes from a real Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. Please know we are thinking of you at this time.
