Dearest Tucker Family: I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I first met Brenda in September, 1961. She was the sister of my freshman year roommate at Howard University and she and Frank were very kind to my roommate and me as we learned about college life.
I would see Brenda and Frank randomly through the years at various events, but the biggest surprise to us all was when a colleague of mine invited me to her church and Frank was the minister! What a joyful and blessed reunion that was for us all! Brenda was a lovely spirit and will be greatly missed! My sincerest condolences to you all!
