dearest sister, we visited your grave site again this year. It is so peaceful there, even
though you are not there, it's comforting in
feeling close to you. We saw four of your grandkids on Sat. They are so precious! Sarah Ellen is almost two years old! Jacob is handsome, Savannah is beautiful and Tyler is so cool., Will join you someday!
Love, your sissy, Cressie
