Dear Jeanne, I am so sad to hear of Rick's passing. It seems like yesterday that we were traveling to the bottle shows, digging privies, eating shrimp, visiting Mom on Broad Street. I have thought of you two often over the years. I lost my Mother just a couple of weeks ago. She lived to be 89. I any case, I know the love - the great relationship had by you and Rick. I feel your pain. I truly do.

Dear Mrs. Tarleton I was deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Tarleton's passing. I remember the good times we had when all of us would get together at my Mother's house for cookouts and holidays. I will continue to pray for you and your family. I will also pray that you find peace and serenity. You need to take care of yourself now. God bless you all. Love, Wanda and David
