Jenny, Nan Owens just sent the news of your mom's death. She saw it in a Baptist magazine. Please send me your address or an email so I can keep in touch. I called your mom, perhaps last year, and we had a nice chat. She was very surprised and very gracious, as always. Of course, I remember her most as my piano teacher, and that my mom sewed for her in exchange for the lessons. And I have very fond memories of you and your parents at 2nd B in El Dorado. Mama, 91, is in a facility near me in Austin.

So sorry to hear of Mrs. Virginia's homegoing, but know she's rejoicing right now in Heaven with Jesus, Bro. Lehman, Mrs. Mabel, and all her relatives and friends. We didn't know about her passing and the graveside here in Warren until after 2 P.M. today, or we would have tried to attend. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this time of sadness to ultimate rejoicing. Mrs. Virginia was a great lady, and she and Bro. Lehman were a fantastic couple and two of our very favorite people. May the Lord bless your family today and always.
