Fannie, and son, Dale,
I just now heard of Dale's passing and want to offer my sympathy. I can remember growing up in Everett and joining your family on different outings, and especially events at Glendale Methodist Church. I know you remember my folks, John and Laura Rowe and the good times you, Fannie, had with them a long time ago. Time doesn't stand still, does it? My sympathy to you, and I send my wishes for good health to you, too.

Mr. Jenkins,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served in the USN during WW II and secondly for the citizens of Middlesex Country when you served as a Deputy Sheriff. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
