DEAR ELLEN, DONNA AND DAVID

I DOUBT YOU WILL REMEMBER ME, BUT I AM THE CAROLYN BROOKS THAT YOUR MAMA WOULD GET TO TAKE TO THE GIRLS MEETINGS AT WEATHERFORD.

YA'LL WERE LITTLE KIDS AND HAD TO SHARE YOUR MAMA WITH ME AND YOUR DADDY WAS PATIENT WHEN I WAS AT THE HOUSE. MAY GOD'S BLESSINGS BE WITH YOU ALL DURING THIS SAD TIME.
