Burrell & Family,
Jean & I talked for a long time about our friendship with you, Joyce & your family, the nice memories of Nags Head, your wonderful trip to Jean's home last year. We sure covered a lot of good times that day. My prayers are with you now & I send my hope for your good health.
All my love,
