Dear Sandra & Bobby and families,
I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Green’s passing. I have many fond memories of her and her husband Bob. Mrs. Green was always glad to have you drop in for a visit. If she had dinner on the table, it wouldn’t do for you to say, ‘no’ because she and Bob wanted you to sit down and eat. Mrs. Green worked for me for several years after the passing of Bob and I cannot write how much I appreciated her and what fun we had. She was a nice lady. Cherish all of your memories because they will be treasures forever.
My love to all of you,
Joyce
