GE, Butter, and Madge, MJ and I want you to know how much we thought of your mother. She was a model for all of us to follow as we were growing up; a very elegant true southern lady and a great friend. We wish we could be there for her funeral, but know that we are thinking about you a this time. Maybe all of us can get together at some point for a fun time.
Love you all,
Tuffy and Mary Jane
