With sincere sympathy. From the Nelsons (Fulton Hill/John Marshall High School). I remember as a child
visiting the Bowlings' home and was in awe of the bowling ball and pin in the front yard and the Boston Terrier(?). This was about 45 years ago, I was four or five, and my brother Douglas was dating Dianne. My mom Lucille spoke of your family often.

Roger, Rick and girls,

It has been a long time, but spent much time over your house playing sports and listening to Beatle records. Both your parents were fun people to be around and always made me feel welcome. You will have many good memories, for the rest of your lives.

May God Bless,

Larry Burnett
