Hey Butch, Hope you are doing well these days. Yes, it has been a about a year now since the loss of our dear loved ones. In honor of their great love for music, I'll be sending you a copy of my new CD, which is due out by the end of the year. Email me your address so I'm sure I have it. Love, Mac

Dear Butch and Tamra, It has been just about a year since you lost Leona. And nearly a year since Mom has been gone. What a year. Take care, you two. I so treasure both of them. Love, Anne Marie

Butch, I was so sorry to learn of Leona's passing.She was always so full of life and when you talked to her, she made you feel like you were so important.

Dear Butch and Tamra,
I have such warm memories of Leona and her sweet spirit and loving ways. It was so wonderful to have met and shared those two or three visits with you (Butch) and Leona at Colleen's house, and how festively she joined in with our songfests! I know you will miss her greatly - she was one of a kind. Take care of yourselves during this time.
Love, McKay Ellsworth (Mac)

Butch and Tamra -- Leona was a headliner for bravery, compassion and humor in the face of a great struggle. I will always treasure my conversations with her over the last few years. And I also will always treasure our times in Charleston -- in Grandma's front parlor, on the porch, on Wappoo Drive. She was a dear cousin. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I look forward to our time together in the future. Love, Anne Marie

Dear Butch & Tamra,
I am so grateful that we met and that I was able to re-connect with my dear cousin Leona. She was beautiful and brought such joy & love to our family, especially to my mother, her Aunt Irma. Her weekly phone calls meant so much to my mom, I will always remember her. I look forward to keeping in touch with you & your family. We love you. Love, Colleen

Butch, Tamra, our thoughts and prayers remain with you and the grandchildren. The love you guys brought to the care of Leona was a remarkable reflection of God's love for all of us. May that love and the healing power of the Holy Spirit, comfort you all and bring you peace in the weeks ahead. God bless you all. Joe & Deb
