I am very saddened by the passing of Mrs. Underwood. She was an outstanding woman. When I was growing up, she welcomed me so many times into her home. I almost felt it to be my second home. The Underwood family home was a warm and fun place to visit. It is a testament to what a great wife, mother, and hostess she was. To Ray, all the children, and grandchildren, we offer our deepest sympathies. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
