Hi Mark & Rev. Jefferson,
It is with my deepest sympathy that I send this to you and your family. Mark, your Mother and I spoke in lengthy conversations whenever we would meet unexpectedly in the community. We also had conversations as she approached the business world. She was as warm, in personality, as a person could ever hope to experience in another human being. I extend our Prayers from my family to yours. Please let us know if we can do anything that would assist in this time of pain.

Sincerely,
The Farley Family
