Dear Barbara & David--

I read of Vera Lee's death in the Bluefield Paper. I'm so sorry for your loss. It is never easy to loose loved ones, but someday we will meet them again, when Jesus comes. This gives us hope that the grave is NOT the last word!! Jesus & the resurrection will be the last word!!
I wondered many times how Vera Lee was doing over the past years, but lost your address.
I have many good memories of Vera Lee & all of you from years past--with Uncle Gene & Aunt Virginia, too.
Know you have my sympathy as well as my thoughts & prayers.
