To the Thorpe Family:
Little did I know when I glanced you at Bo Caudle's funeral that that would be the last time I would see you alive.
Thank you for all your kindnesses to me and my family. I shall remember the smile/grin you always had. Children, your mother and I went to school together. I learned of her passing and burial yesterday afternoon.
Not only that, we are family.

My deepest sympathies Joyce and Timmy. Your mom was an inspiration to all. The love that beamed from her to others, was genuine and will be missed.
It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.
