Dear Betty Jo,
I saw in the Arkansas Catholic where Alvin had passed away. I’m so very sorry. Life can be cruel sometimes....thank God for our faith! I wanted to send you a card, but couldn’t find your address. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. God bless.
Love, Bettye Lou Rhein Yakoubian
