Dear Tonia and family,
My heart goes out to you in the loss of your dad. I know you have already lost much of your family. I still think of Charlie and Dale from time to time. I hope you have many treasured memories of your family to ease the pain - and to keep them close.
God Bless,
Bev (Brazoswood '74)
