Sorry about Aunt Margaret death. She will be missed in my heart very much. You could feel her love always. The place where she is now she would not want to come back she will always be looking down on you. There will be a day when she will be welcoming you with her and the rest of the family. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Sorry I was unable to attend the funeral but you was in my thoughts.

Love

Dear Ann, Barbara & Billy:

It saddened me to see that Aunt Margaret had passed away. I had just thought of her a few weeks ago. Since I do not have any of your addresses and will be unable to attend Thursday, I am thankful that I am able to email and say how sorry I am for your loss and you all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, Susan (Ratliff)Ellison
