Dearest Jeanine, Kenny, Lola, and family,
Your mother has been on my mind a lot the last couple of weeks, and I was hoping to be able to visit her next time I get to Arkansas. I'm so sad to have missed the chance to see her one more time.
Aunt Margie was one of the gentlest people I've ever known. I have such fond memories of when she and Uncle Charles would drop by to visit us when we lived in Wichita. We spent a lot of hours around the supper table, with my Daddy and your mother reminiscing.
May God bless you all with His peace and assurance that we will all be together again one day in perfect health and eternal joy.
Much love,
your cousin Nancy
