Aunt Mary,

I am so sorry for your loss, I keep remember the time we were at the Catholic Church for David Jr. and Misty Dickey'baptism, and Uncle Bobby telling me it would be okay, That the Bishop was in the house. (meaning him) I'll never forget that. I have missed you both. May God hold you and see you through these difficult times.
