Grace, Tipper and Thaxton--Reginald was a wonderful man and he often cracked me up with his dry wit. I am so grateful to have known him, and feel so blessed for the friendship and support he and you, Grace, have shown to our family for over 40 years.

I hope knowing that he's in a shining place, smoking a cigar, and watching over you and the grandchildren provides some solace at this most difficult of times.

Grace, Vinson and I are sending you and the family much love. I really wanted to call you, but first I have to stop this crying that I just can't stop. I can't believe big Brother is not walking around having fun, traveling and playing card, I can't handle this now, but I'll get it together. Chocolate Blessing Kisses to you the boys who are now men, with children, can't believe we've been out of California for over 16 years. Love too Shirley and Thaxton from our Youngstown day back in the LATE 50's.
