TO BOB ,STEVEN , AND STANTON AND FAMILIES,
IT WAS A REAL SHOCK TO READ ABOUT PAT’S DEATH IN THE PAPER THIS MORNING . SUSIE SYNDER AND I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT YOUR MOM AND YOUR DAD ON FRIDAY MORNING . SHE HAD TOLD ME ABOUT HER HEART ATTACTH AND THAT SHE WAS TO HAVE SURGERY TODAY. ALSO THAT BOB WAS NOW AT CRESTWOOD. I DELIVERED THE NEWS JOURNAL TO THEM FOR MANY YEARS . THEY WERE SUCH A SPECIAL COUPLE . IT SEEMS SO STRANGE NOT GOING IN THEIR DRIVE TO DELIVER THAT PAPER ANYMORE.
THEY ALLOWS TOOK GOOD CARE OF ME BY HAVING THE DRIVE CLEANED OUT AND THE SIDEWALK SHOVELED AND TIPED ME WELL. I ALSO ENJOYED TALKING TO THEM ABOUT THE HATCHERY AND ALSO HOW BOB’S DAD AND THE HOUSE. I SURE WILL MISS THOSE TALKS . I DIDN’T GET A CHANCE TO TALK TO THEM AT FRED LOVELACE’S CALLIN HOURS. I SURE WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN THEM. PLEASE EXCEPT MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY IN THE LOSS OF YOUR WIFE AND MOM AND GRANDMA. CHERISH ALL THE GOOD MEMORIES OF HER AND BOB. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY DURING THIS VERY DIFFICUILT TIME.
