Dear Trudy,
I am your cousin from Texas that does the Stout family genealogy. My heart goes out to you and your children. You are in my prayers. I loved the blogs that Harold did on the Internet, very inspirational.

Trudy,
I know you don't remember me but I attended Kerr Memorial Methodist Church in Bowling Green until we moved away. My parents, Clifton and Heloine Peay were also members. Rev. Coomer baptised our first son, Anthony Wayne Lowery, at that church. I am so sorry to hear about Rev. Coomer's passing but know he is in a better place. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Trudy,
Harold meant so much to me and my family. Even though it's been a long time since I've seen y'all, I've thought of you often and will continue to do so.
