    To Richard and family; many years has passed since we were in school; but I wanted to let you know how sorry I am for the loss of your father; may God be with your family at this time of sorrow.

    Cassie, Richard & William,
    You’re in our thoughts and prayers during this time. Your father lived a good, long life and we should all hope to be so blessed, but this transition is still a difficult time, we know. Treasure your memories, and we wish you the best in the future.
    Cassie,
    Mom and Dad are in NC visiting Julie and her family, as she delivered a baby girl last Saturday (Olivia is their sixth grandchild!). Mom did receive your voice message on Wednesday, but I don’t know if you’ll hear from them soon or not, as they don’t have a return travel itinerary decided yet (as far as I know).
    May God Bless you all,
    Jeff and Dee Dee

    Bill Richard and Cass, I am sorry about your fathers passing. I am glad I did get to see him when I was in Indiana.
    Love, Beverly Terrell
