Hello Miss Hazel

I was so sad when mom told me about Mr. Earl. I always loved him and loved stopping by to see him when I was in GA. Tell Wendy, Teresa and Little Earl I have thought of you all a lot lately. I will still stop and see you when I come back there.

Dear Mullis Family, Earl and Lori, Teresa and Dennis, Wendy and Mrs. Hazel,
I apologize for the lateness of my note; I just learned of Mr. Earl's homegoing. I was out of town and only found out this morning. I am so sorry for your loss. As I read the beautiful tributes to him, it reminded me of the kind remarks friends and family made about my Dad when he died years ago. I understand the gravity of the loss in a family like yours. He did a beautiful job with his family and in his community and was obviously loved by many. His genuine love for others will certainly live on through his namesakes.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days ahead. With much sympathy,

Mr. & Mrs. H. Bivins, Sr
