Teddy, Roxanne, and family,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Toots. She was the last of my aunts, I know everyone is together again probably sitting around a table and playing cards as I remember them all doing at the River.

You all have had alot of sorrow in a short time and I will remember you in my prayers.

Love,

Roddie
