Dear Perkins Family,
I would like to extend my condolences to your family. I don't think we know each other but my family knew Fletcher. My parents were Ernest and Willie Mae Wood and we lived in Dinwiddie. I have a younger sister named Shelley and another sister, Brenda, who passed away a number of years ago. I have fond memories of Fletcher coming by in his pick-up every summer with a boxful of fresh vegetables from his garden. Those visits were brief but filled with laughter and fellowship. And we very much enjoyed the veggies. My father used to always get such a kick out of Fletcher walking around barefoot all of the time. I know he will be missed. My thoughts are with you.
Sincerely, Terrie Wood Mason
