To Julie:
I was so sorry to hear of Al's recent death. You and Al both were such dear people and I know Al will be deeply missed. I come to Hurst/Bedford often to visit with my children and grandchildren and often have thought of both of you and how pleasant you were all of the time. I pray your burden will be lifted by the knowledge of how special you both have been to many throughout the years. God bless.
