Mr. & Mrs. Cullipher, Beth & family,
I want to send my deepest sympathy to you all in the loss of Bennie. I was shocked to find out, (living in S.C. now) and wish I could be there. We haven't been in touch in a long while, but your family has always meant a lot to me. I hope I can get in touch with Beth soon.
With much love, Karen(Harrison)Lupton
