Betty,
Judy McLendon called last night and told me about Mike's passing. My heart aches for you as I have just gone through Donny's passing. I will be down at the beach on Friday and if there is anything I can do to help make things easier for you please call me. If your Mother is still there and would like me to take her anywhere or do anything for either one of you just call. My place is close by as I'm in Fairway Oakes and will be there till the 27th of September.
I will be thinking of you and hope you will take care of yourself and God will grant you much peace and rest.
With sympathy,
Sylvia Buckner
