Karen, I was truly shocked to learn of the death of your brother, Max. I have known Max for a very long time. And as I told you at Janeth Marie's funeral, my wife knew Max from west Monroe High School and her brother, James McNeil knew Max from Crow-Burlingame. I truly empathize with you and my prayers are for you. Clarence White, Jr.

Lisa, Rhonda and Vicki, You girls are in my thoughts. I know this has to be very difficult for you ladies - both emotionally and physically. I was truly shocked when Sarah Morman called me. I am so glad that I saw Max, that he knew me and that we talked when I came to visit your mother. I will truly be praying for you and thank you for being so kind and gracious to me when your mother passed away. Your cousin, Clatrence
