Ron and Patsy:
You may not remember me, but I wanted to offer my condolences in the loss of your mother. I worked at LaSalle State Bank for 10 years when your father was on the board and also went to church with them. I came to know your mother and greatly admired her. I just wanted you to know what an inspiration that they both were to me.....such warmth, kindness and class are rarely found. I know you have many wonderful memories, as I do.

I was sorry to hear of the loss of your mother (mother-in-law) and suprised to see she was from Jena. It is amazing how little we know of those we meet.
