LARRY, WHAT 'GOOD' MEMORIES YOUR MOTHER AND FAMILY LEFT WITH ME. HOW MANY TIMES DID I CUT THRU THE BLOCK TO SEE YOU AND ELMER AND SIT AND TALK TO YOUR MOM AND DAD? REMEMBER OUR MOMS MANY YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP.
HOLD TIGHT TO THE HONOR OF HAVING A WONDERFUL CHRISTIAN MOTHER WHO RAISED TWO FINE SONS.
HOLD A TIGHT MEMORY OF YOUR MOM LOVING GOD, HER CHURCH, BELMONT CHRISTIAN AND HER SONS......
HOLD TIGHT TO THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE MANY FRIENDS WHO ARE THINKING OF YOU. I COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER FRIEND THAN YOU WHO LOVED AND DID SO MUCH FOR MY MOM AND YOU KNOW SHE LOVED YOU. MY PAIN FROM MOMS RECENT DEATH WILL NEVER EASE. GOD BLESS YOU.
