Aunt Judith,



My Uncle Trace was a wonderful man and he found a wonderful wife to share his last years. My Daddy loved his big brother very much and I am sure he was right there to meet him. I have many wonderful childhood memories of the times I visited Uncle Trace and I will miss him very much. My love to you, Andrew, and Michelle.



Joan

A wonderful grandfather and THE most loving great-grandfather. We love you, Tata

Judy - Oh, the great memories of a wonderful boss and friend. There are so many, many stories I have repeated over the years about that wonderful husband of yours. He was one-of-a-kind, and will be missed greatly by so many people. I am so sorry I missed the services. I didn't hear about Tracy's death until I got back in town today. My heartfelt sympathy for you and yours. Love, Martha
