My goodness, I haven't seen you guys in over 60 years, but for whatever reason you all popped in my head today, I got online searching for Mr.Paul and Mrs. Elnora , Cecilia and Glenn, and sadly your mother's obituary popped up. Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. You guys may not remember me but my dad ( Mr. Sweet) and Mr. Paul were best friends. I think my parents were the Godparents of the youngest son. I have included my email address, please reach out to me. I live in Texas and would love to see you all. I will be in Houston next weekend. Now I understand why you guys were on my mind.
May peace and comfort be with you and your family at this difficult time.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
