"Dear Bobby and family. Sorry for your loss. Just remember your lose is her gain for she is in a far better place. I know it is hard to let her go but you have many years of beautiful memory's to be thankful for. I know I have not been around for many many years but have never forgotten the two of you. I remember teaching her to be a Dental Asst. back in the fifty's when we were Oh so young. My sister Ruby is in the hospital and I can not tell her that Carolyn is gone. She would have wanted to be there for you. I pray God to give you strength and watch over you as know He will.
Love Always Mary Lou"
