June 6, 2003

We are very saddened to hear about the passing of our dear Aunt Nancy. She and Mama had many adventures together, whether it was traveling, visiting or shelling peas together.

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of going to Uncle Remer and Aunt Nancy's house on the plantation. It was always a warm, inviting place with many things to do.

I am very sorry that we will not be able to attend the funeral. We are in the process of moving and our church's annual conference begins this weekend. I hope we can travel to Cairo sometime soon and can see as many of you as possible.

Please know that our love and prayers are with you.

Love, Susan & Tony Collins
