    Tracy, I was very sad to hear of your grandmother's passing. I remember meeting her once. You were here for Thanksgiving and you had taken her to Hammers. She was such a quiet little lady. She was very polite and so cute. Dressed beautifully with every hair in place. She will be missed by your family. I'm sure she had a wonderful 91 years. May God comfort your family during this time. I think of you and Joe often.

    Roma, so sorry to hear about your mother. I am in Singapore right now or I would of been there. Miss Ruth was a wonderful Christian lady and I have fond memories of her from our earlier days. God bless you and your family. Don't know if mother knew about it as she has been staying with Lawrence in Nashville while I am away. If she doesn't I know she will be sorry too and want to let you know how she feels . Hope to see you soon, Marie
