Carol,
I was so saddened to hear about Brenda. I remember how funny and onery she was in our school days at Empire and I wouldn't have had her any other way.
I am so glad you and I have renewed our friendship after all the years that have passed getting married and raising our children.
I am here if you ever need anything and am looking forward to more shopping trips in the future.

Love and prayers to you and your family......Micheal Moore Norton
