Annie and family, Was sorry to hear about Wilfred and just want to send my sympathy and thoughts. I was sorry I was unable to come to his service.
Mert and I enjoyed our visits when you were hosting the campground up here and I remember fun times from school.
I know how hard of a time it is and my prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Ann and Family -- What a neat way to send a message to you from me. All of Frances and Kenneth's kids were always my very very favorite cousins. As young kids, we laughed, we cried, and we lived. As older people, we did the very same. I just wish we would have spent more time together. I am so happy that I got to talk to Wilfred two weeks or so ago. We laughed and shared things and best of all, we told eachother how much we loved one another. I will always have great memories. Love and Prayers Your Cousin -- Connie Moreland Cox
