My deepest sympathy to all the family. To Linda and Martha, I remember you both as two of my closest friends many years ago. I recall spending nights at your home, thinking how gracious and welcoming your mother was. Regretfully, due to health issues of my own, I will not be able to attend the services. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Sue Riddle
