Rod,Lance,Jay,and Scott~

Mom called to give me the sad news about your mom. Thanks so much for letting us know. Mom has talked often about "Betty" and what a sweet lady she always was. I know she spoke to your mom in the past couple of years from Jay's house, and had really hoped to get down to the Tidewater area for a visit. Unfortunately, time always seems to get away, and she did not ever get there. I'm thinking of you all during this really tough time, and will keep you all in my prayers. Would love to hear from any or all of you at [email protected].
