Dear Bill and family,
Only the Good Lord knows why this happened. Guess he needed someone to ride herd on Neal. I know your faith is strong and your trust in the Lord is great. He is the almighty healer and will take care of all things. Keep your eyes on him and he will see you through this.

Trammell family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Trammell taught Homemake. I adored this woman. She never gave up on me and I am so grateful to her for that. Did'nt matter what kind of attitude I was in. Usually bad. You could'nt wipe that beautiful smile off her face, she also insisted on a hug. I'll never forget her.
