Debbie and Dewaine,

We send our deepest sympathy in the death of your mother. All of our memories your family are so wonderful - always full of laughter. It was evident how much Margaret and Buddy Jack loved each other. I remember the family coming to Paris for a visit - you ran over a snake on the way and Buddy Jack had to stop and put it in the trunk, then stretch it out on the picnic table and show it to all the kids! We made home made icecream and Dewaine and I had a watermelon eating contest.

Remember the good times and be comforted by those memories.

With much love,
Renee Etheridge Caraway
