Dear Kate & Family:
I just learned late last night about Lamar's passing. Jerry Forte called me. If I had known earlier I surely would have attended the services this morning.
I suspect as I write now his memorial service is in process. Please let me assure you that I have always loved you and Lamar. The two of you were always extremely good to my family and me. Lamar is one of the best laymen I have ever pastored. He was a faithful christian and a wonderful churchman.
I have often wondered about you and Lamar and your beautiful kids. I often asked Jerry about you when I talked to him.
Lamar's life is to be celebrated at his passing. And, the memory of his life will continue to speak to all of us.
Kate, if there is any manner I can help you, please let me know.
