Dear Debbie, Just got back in town and am so very sorry to hear of Uncle Charles's passing. Guess the last time we all got to see and visit with each other was at Woodrow's funeral. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you...I have traveled down the road you are having to go down now and believe me it is not any easy task, but we know that our parents are finally happily reunited again. Take care of yourself and remember my heart is with you and your family.
With love, Sally Basham Stolp
