Dear Johnnie, Chester and James:

I wanted so badly to come for "gene's" funeral but circumstances whould not allow it. But, I want you to know that I have been thinking about you and praying for you each day. I am hoping that the flowers arrived okay. I will be thinking about you in my prayers and hopefully I will get home next year.

Sterling,

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with your Father at the Post Office and with you for a

short time. Both of you were a pleasure. You probably don't even remember me, but I will always remember both of you.

May God Bless you and your Family in your time of sorrow. He is in a better place than we are.
