Kenny & Curtis,

You may or may not remember the Wyrick family who lived next door to you on Cornell Dr. Les, Mary Ann, Lewis, John and Paula.

We just wanted to let you know that we are so sorry about Dot. We always thought so much of your family. We kept in touch a little after she re-married and volunteered at the hospital. I had just thought about your family several days before I saw it in the paper.

I did not see the paper until after the service on Thursday or we would have been at the memorial service.

God Bless and keep you safe.
