Dear Louise and Fanily, Ann and I want to convey our thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
I have known you and Bob for a lot of years and he and I were good friends, although I am younger by 4 years. Bob and Wayne were in the same class at VHS. Jan, Wayne's wife is still living in the Dallas area.
Be sure and tell Jim I said hi, he, his Dad and Bob gave me a lot of rides from town to our country home.
Our prayers are with you,
R. C. and Ann Yates,
Corpus Christi, Texas
