Jean & Tom,

Our prayers are with you. I'm sure you have many memories to cherish. Most of all, you have the assurance that comes from knowing that your Father is with the Lord now.

Lucy & family,

We have fond memories of Bart when you were such active members at First Baptist. Bart was one of the greats. He was known for doing for others. He certainly made a world of friends. I just want you to know that you are on our minds and in our prayer as you try to adjust to a new way of life without him.

Sincerely,

Norman D. Graham
Richmond, Va.
