Y'all were wonderful neighbors all those years on Catina Ct when we
lived there?I just moved myself. I remember the great kindness of both of you and even your sister Barbara when she rescued me off the hill in my yard. I promise I will keep you and everyone else in the family in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Margaret L. Pleasants
