Dear Aunt Sharlene, Wayne and Kelly,
I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Larry was such a good man. Many, many years ago he would write letters to me from different places in his travels. I always looked so forward to those letters, and to his encouragement to me to continue my education. I am thankful to him! Hopefully, I will see you in Dahlonega Tuesday.
With much love,
Elaine
