Dear Peed family-------Please accept our sincere condolences and kindest concern on the passing of your loved one. When Bob Wade was on my Congressional Staff, he drew me close to the Peed family, masonry, and gideons, the reputation of which is unrivaled, and the example of which is unmatched. Yours is a testimony which is admired and appreciated.
Always sincerely, The Jack and Lois Brinkley family
