Dear Gem and Tom and Jack, Jr.:
When I saw this in the paper, I didn’t know where to send a note to Gem and will try to get the address from the church. I know Jack had been in the nursing home with memory loss; I hope he didn’t suffer at the end. I will always remember him for being so friendly, which certainly helped him in his business, and being such a good neighbor. I think Gem is in Hendersonville somewhere, but when I asked Tom once while he was walking Homer, he didn’t tell me. I have her sunset painting she said once she would like to show others; she is welcome to have it back if she would like. She can call at 252-9125.
Love,
Ann
