"Bubba" and family- We were sorry to read of your Dad's death. We enjoyed him so much during the Benedictine Baseball games when you and Phil both would hit home runs. He loved those games. You and your family have our sympathy.

I didn't know Uncle Carroll was that sick. I am very sorry. Many years ago, I spent lots of time at his Restaurant and have some great memories. I pray that Mom(Jenny), A.Dot, A.Alice, U.Pinkie, U.Mallory, and U.Junie (Doug) are having a sweet reunion. They all loved their baby brother. My prayers are with all of you. Love, Janet
