KENNETH S. BATES Jr.

Debbie, Chis forwarded me your email on Tue. & I fully intended to make it, as Chris' comments reflect below. Regretfully, my own health issues have forced me to scrub the attempt.

Linda & I send you & Kimberly our sincere & deepest sympathies. It was a real shock for us all, accompanied with a burning sensation of great loss. Although we haven't seen you & Scotty in a good while, we truly loved him & cherished the years of friendship & sharing.

I will close this condolence...
