Jim and Tom, I just drove by our old house on Kenwick the other day, and saw that your mom's home was up for sale. I am so sorry not to have known of her passing; I don't get the paper regularly. I remember playing board games with you, Jim, and your spelling bee trophy, and playing everything else under the sun and romping about with Tom when we were kids. And the horses! Most of all I remember both your parents, what a great dad and mom you had, and what a wonderful friend and neighbor Mitzi was to our mom Helen Holden. She was also a sweet and kind godmother to me. Actually, she has remained one of the sweetest women I have ever met. I just wanted you to know that I felt that way and remembered all of her kindnesses to Sally, Heather, Dad, and myself, and most of all, her friendship with Mother. Our mom absolutely thought the world of her! Heather joins me in this belated rememberance of a most lovely lady, friend, and neighbor. Most sincerely, Suzanne Holden, formerly of 6205 Kenwick Ave

My Sympathy is with you in your time of sorrow. I have great memories of horses and skiing during my college years at TCU.
Best of luck to you both in the coming years.
