Al and John,

I was so sorry to hear about Mary Lou's passing. She was a great lady and I will always remember having the special opportunity to get to know her, John and you... Thank you for giving me that opportunity. My heart is with you and your family at this time...

Mr. Al and John, I am so sorry for the passing of Mary Lou. She and I worked together at BMH for several years and became good friends. Was wondering about her recently and perhaps that was the indication of her not being well. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. She talked about you all often and loved you both very much.

It was my pleasure to meet John in June, when we waited in line to become Cracker Barrel employees. It has been a joy to work with John and become FRIENDS. I am saddened by your loss and will do what I can to stand with and support John during his grief. He is a nice young man.
