Mary,

I have not met you before but my family and I were so sorry to hear of your husbands passing. My children used to enjoy seeing your husband drive out to feed his cattle and he would always wave to them. Seemed like such a nice man. We all will miss seeing him come into our neighborhood in his green truck to tend his cattle. Again, so sorry for your loss.
