Aunt Irma,
I am so sorry I was unable to attend the funeral of Uncle Laurel. I am Diane Boyd's (Stafford) son, Arlie Stafford's daughter. I remember you both, although it has been a LONG time since I have seen any of you. It is so sad how families do not stay in touch like we should any more. It seems the more technology we have, the more we live shut in our own lives. I sometimes think technology will be the doom of us. I know God will bring peace and comfort to all of you throughout this time of loss. I am glad Uncle Laurel lived a long life. Please, if there is anything we can do, let us know? Love you all and God bless each of you.
