Dear Bill, Ann and Family,
So sorry to hear and read about your mother's passing. I will always have many fond members of her. No one had a laugh like she did. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
Most Sincerely.

Bill and Ann,
Thanks Ann for calling. Bill, I'm sorry I was late in getting your message. I am sorry for the loss of your mother on this earth, but give thanks that there will be a time of reunion. Be assured of our prayers during this time. My mother will be 91 in November and is in frail health.
Aubrey and Lu Anne Floyd.
