Dear Jan, Paul and Family ---- I read today in the paper of your mother's (grandmother's) death. I'm not sure of your address, so I am taking this way to be in touch with you. For no more than I saw them, I remember your parents pretty well. I always thought your mother had such a sweet smile and I am sure her disposition must have been equally sweet. I'm sure her passing leaves a hole in your lives but what happy memories she must leave you with. I feel our loved ones don't leave us truly as long as those memories remain. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Love ---- Mary Frances

Dear Janice, I want to extend my deepest sympathies on the homegoing of your mom. I worked at Dr. Doyle's office and very much enjoyed the times I got to visit with her during her ultra-sounds. She was a very gracious and lovely lady. Sincerely, Tracy Mayberry
