MY SINCEREST CONDOLENCES.

Gene, I wrote to you on Sunday, but I noticed it didn't get posted. I was sorry to hear of your Mother's death. Pat Ann called and told me. I wasn't able to get to the Visitation or the funeral. Pat Ann spoke so much of her through the years, I feel like I knew her. I'm sure she was a wonderful mother. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. All of you have always been so special to me and my family. You ARE family. God bless you. Roxie

Mary was more than just a 'Sister-in-Law' to me. She was a very dear and sweet lady that always treated me with love. I spent many happy hours with her and my brother Jack in their home during many sumnmer visits to Savannah. She loved her family, but most of all she loved the Lord. I will truly miss her and there will be a empty spot in my heart for her. Rest in peace my dear 'Sister' for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. You, Jack, and my dear wife Dottie will be together for eternity. I look forward to being there with you! Love always, 'Brother' Bill
