So sorry that John and I could not be there for the funeral. Mother told me the service was Friday at 1pm. I thought that was too soon, but hurried up and sent flowers. Mother has a terrible cold, so she wouldn't have been able to come anyway. I have wondreful memories of you and Joe from childhood and also the time Joe drove me all over Savannah to find an apartment when John was in flight school!He's in the presence of many Saints now. May God bless you and the boys and their families as you go through this sad time. Love, Tricia
