To Mike & family: Please excuse me for not extending my deepest & sincere sympathy sooner. I just happened to view the obituary notices at this time.
Even though it has been many years since I have been in contact, I have always remembered you all. How could I ever forget my early teen years as your "babysitter" for your darling children. I respect Ruth so much for entrusting me to care for them. I will always treasure the memories of being a part of your family. My sincere thoughts, sympathy and prayers. Lovingly, Edith Fellin-Singleton
