Mark,Joe and Family:
I just found out this morning about your mother passing away (thanks to Shirley Slaten Tatum who is a part time employee here at the school). She came in this morning at 11:00 am and told me she forgot to let me know on Tuesday. Again, I don't get the daily paper so I was not aware - I surely would have been to the funeral home to see you all.
Our prayers are with your family - it is never easy to face the death of a loved one. May each day give you hope with the wonderful memories you hold dear to your heart. May God give you strength to face each day.
