Dear Starkey Family,
I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Starkey many years ago at Royal Globe. I was just 18 and she was a tremendous help to me as well as fun to talk to. She often spoke of her family, her husband and children. It was easy to see how important each of you were to her. She has come to my mind many times over the years; always wondering how she was. My prayers are with her family and of course a thankfulness for the privilege of knowing her.
Sincerely,
Shelby Goins
