Dear Woody, Larry and your families,
We are sorry to hear of the loss of your wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. We cherish our memories of all the holiday meals that we shared each year, the delicious food that Dot would prepare and the beautiful table that she would set, her carefully chosen and meticulously wrapped Christmas gifts, our annual trek to their house to watch the Wizard of Oz in color and the time spent with them at Smith Mountain Lake. May your memories bring you comfort as ours do. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
With love and sympathy from your cousins,
Belinda Johnson Reynolds and family
