Dear Family,
Just learned of arrangements for your mother. I’m sorry weren’t able to attend. We have fond memories of days gone by.
I remember when we used to sing with Mr. Young and Cordelia. I remember Bible school with Sherman Jr. and Harold.
We recieved many cards of encouragement from Mrs. Lula. Our prayers and condolences to all. God be with you.
