Shirley, Skip and Matt,

I was so saddened to learn of Fletcher's death. Even though it has been many years since I have lived in Camden, I always kept up with your family through Frances and in latter years through Ann Mount. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.

Leave your Condolence
