Condolences

Dear Carol, Tommy, B.T., and family,
I was very sorry to hear about Laverne's (your Dad's) death. I have very fond memories of you all from your summers at Scotland Wharf. Laverne always had a big smile and kind words to share. I often reflect on the "good old days" at the river. We have just completed building a new cottage there....you probably know that Hurricane Isabelle destroyed the others.
I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I would love to see you all. Come see us at the river this summer. I am married with two children....Meredith is 9 and Samuel is 6. I would love to introduce them to some old river friends. Take care and God Bless. Nancy Gray
