Dear Thommie,
Beverly Nabors and I talk frequently and I wanted to express my condolences to you and your family on the recent loss of both your Mother and Father. I too lost my parents within one year of each other in 2000. I pray for you in your time of grieving and am grateful they lived such a long life. I would love to see you sometime when my husband and I come to see Bev and Tim. Warm regards, Nancy
