Nancy, I don't know if you remember me or not, but we graduated from EP together and your brother married my sister, Elsie. Therefore, after reading the paper this morning, I felt compelled to send my condolences to you and all your family, especially Mrs. Dyer. I can only imagine the heartbreak in losing a son and I truly feel for all of you. Take care and remember the good times always.
