Dear Drew and Chipley,
Kay and I were saddened to see Mrs.Booth's passing. She had a full life and can join Mr. Booth. She was a great, positive and wonderful person. I am sure Mr. Booth's illness and passing were hard on her. We are sure she is at her well earned final reward. We have missed seeing all of you in the last few years, but will always enjoy our memories.
You and all the Booth family are in our family's prayers.
Kay and Don Faust
