Dear Family,
I deeply regret that I was unable to attend my Brothers' Service. Our last meeting was at our Mothers' service here in N.C. and I'm deeply saddened that we never had the opportunity to see each other again. Another link from the Matthews chain has been removed, but may the Memories of our lives together on this earth sustain us until we meet again.
With Love,
Uncle Derry and Barbra & Hilda
