Thelia, your parents, Pervis & Clara, were dear family friends and neighbors, while I was growing up in Oak Cliff in Dallas in the late 1950's. I know from experience losing your parents is never easy, but I trust knowing Pervis has joined Clara and is now at last at peace, gives you peace as well. I was so glad to have the opportunity to visit with him recently, and enjoy recalling memories together. You & yours who have lost your dear "Papa" are in our thoughts and prayers.
