Dear Bitsy, Julie, John and Family,

First, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I enjoyed so much knowing Peyton and all the crazy things that she, Kim and Vann did over the years. If walls could talk, well maybe we don't want to know everthing. Somehow, they all grew up to be great ladies and mothers. She may be gone, but her memories will always be around, through you, her family, and by all the wounderful friends that she had.



Second, I am sorry that I was unable to attend the service because I was called out of town on unexpected family business. Jay said the service was just lovely and the stories told by Scott and Steve were wonderful. Please know that I may not have been there in person but I was there in spirit.



My heart goes out to all of you.



Fondly,

Susan
