Judy, Mary Jane and Herbert, I extend my deepest sympathy and love to all of you in the loss of Henry. I never knew you Judy which is my loss, but Henry Mary Jane and Herbert were my neighbors on the old Walker road in the 1930's when we were children. I still see Herbert once in a while as I live in my fifthwheel trailer in the KOA just North of Bridgeton. I remember well us playing together as children. One thing that sticks out in my mind is an old phonograph that Mr Noah had that played a cylinder record and the only record you had was of "Lincoln's Gettysburg Address" which we could barely understand but we played it over and over because it was such a novelty to have that antiquated machine. If you still have it, it's probably worth a small fortune. Lord willing I will see you at the visitation. Love you all. James Madison TOLER (Jim)
