Patsy, George and Family,

So sorry to hear about Pearl's passing. We did not know it until church today (11/9). We would certainly have come to the funeral home. Your Mom and Dad were special to Mama and Daddy and our family. May God comfort you as only He can do. Praying for you.

Dear Faye,
Please extend my sincere sympathy to George and Pat in the loss of their mother and to you in the loss of your mother in law. I have heard so many wonderful things about Mrs. West from my mother. You will be in my thoughts during this sad time.
