Dear Cousins,

I am so sorry to read of the passing of cousin Archie. You all have my deepest sympathy. I saw cousin Archie last fall when I was at the doctor's office with my brother, Larice. Melvin was there to bring cousin Archie. I was so glad to see him. I had not seen him in a long time. You all be strong and may the Lord comfort and Bless you all.
