Dear Brother Jimmy, Tim, Steve & Kathy; Although we haven't seen you in years our prayers are with you in Mrs. Kathleen's home going. She was one of the sweetest, kindest, & gentlest ladies I have ever had the privilege of knowing. I thank the Lord that I had that privilege as well as knowing all of you.

I know you will miss her but will look forward to the time when the family circle will be unbroken. I know because we buried my daddy, Ernest C. Fuller, today and I am the only member of my family left here.

However I know I'll see then one day as ya'll will see Mrs. Kathleen. To God Be The Glory.
