Dear Bob, John, Mary & Mark,

We are so sorry to read of your mother's passing. Unfortunately, we cannot attend the services. I am home bound having had hip replacement surgery July 1st and Bill is flying to Dallas tomorrow morning to bring two grandchildren back on Wednesday.

We will keep your Mom and all of you in our prayers.

Fondly, Terry & Bill Fanning
