Dear Uncle Pete, Mike, Calvin and family: We were very sorry to hear of your loss. It is strange to think that the world may not realize what a Saint it has lost. May your many warm memories of this special and precious woman sustain you in the years to come. A lifetime of love and devotion will keep her with you and your memories will become all the sweeter and more important as you go forward. I know she was proud of her two fine sons and the good men you both became. If there is ever anything we can do, please contact us. I apologize for my absence, but I pray you know that you are in my thoughts and my prayers. Please find comfort in knowing the welcome and well deserved rest Miss Nellie Jean will have in Heaven.
