Dear Beth, Vernon, Glenn, and family--I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I am sure she will be missed. I know we have not seen each other since high school; however, I still remember playing at your house many times in our youth, and when Miss Cleo cut and styled my hair for me on occasion. She was a nice lady. Peace be with you all. Sincerely, Mavis Murray Fore (now in Bridge City, Texas).
