Connie, I want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of Tom's passing. Tom and I were first cousins. His father and my mother, Mary Lou Rivenbark Inge, were brother and sister. I always loved and admired Tom's mother, Aunt Nell, as she was such a strong christian lady. I know that God's comforting arms will be around you during this difficult time. Sincerely, Mrs. Mickie Inge Ground, 875 SE 39th, Paris, TX 75462.
