Barbara & Cheryl,

I just heard of your mother's passing. She was just on my mind this past month, I planned to call Wesley Robinson and try to get in touch with her. The last time I stopped to see her years ago, she was on the way to the doctor with your dad. I believe Mrs Loretta was the last of that generation from Power/Beech Bottom remaining. My prayers are with you. I would love to get in touch with you.
