Mary Ann & family: One of the greatest bonds is that between a parent and child, and I extend my sympathy as you grieve the loss of your mother. I only heard about this just prior to the memorial services and wish that I could have visited with you and the family during your time in McRae. Just know that Kenneth & I will keep you in our prayers.
