Susan,
I was so shocked to see the announcement of your mother's death. Having been out of town, I did not see the announcement until I read Friday's paper on Saturday. I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure your mother and my mother are talking to each other right now about plants, trees, and mowing the grass.
You are in my prayers.
Your old neighbor,
Tom & Ruth Cole (Ballard)

Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you on this day. I haven't seen Mable in a long time but remember her well. May God bless you and be with you in this time of sorrow.
