Dear Pam and Jane and Families:
We were very sorry to hear of your dear mother's passing. She was a very sweet lady and always so full of life. I remember my dad talking about what a wonderful sense of humor she had. Watson and I are very sorry we cannot attend her service, but we will be out of town. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Lovingly,
Jean Ann
