Dear Barbara, Betty, and Joyce,
I wish we could be there to tell you in person how much i loved your Mom. She was one of my favorites. She always had such a cheery disposition that you had to love just being around her. I tried several times to talk her into coming to Florida to visit, but was unsuccessful.I will miss her terribly. Love and prayers to all of you. Tony and Loreece.
I send my condolences in the death of your mother and to Wilma in the death of your sister. I have happy memories of when we lived next door to you Wilma and we all played cards together. Sincerely
Eleanor Crider McCarter
