Jimmy and Bob:
I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Miriam's passing. I hadn't seen her in several years but still remember how we used to love for her and Uncle Willis to come and visit. She was a mighty sweet lady and I know you will miss her terribly. She is at peace now and in the good Lord's hands. May God bless you and your family and give you peace and strength to get thru the tough days ahead.
