Dear Teresa,  I am so sad to hear of your mother's passing.  I have fond memories of your parents.  Your Dad was so kind and jolly.  I  remember the day we cooked out using his recipe for ribs.  I still have your Mom's recipe for chocolate sauce.  She was so dear.  Take care.  Love,  Dr. Ray

Mom I never knew that this would be so hard. I know Heaven was waiting for you but I was being selfish and did not want you to go, you were all I have left. I hope that Heaven is all that I think it is and that daddy is behaving himself. Keep watch over me and help me to be strong. All my love to you and pop.

My condolences to the Duty family for their loss. Evelyn was loved by everyone who had the pleasure to meet her. I had the honor to have the Dutys for a neighbor and they were friends with and watched over my parents. God bless.
