Jenny,

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I thought a lot of Ms. Doris. You and your brothers are in my prayers, also your father. I'm sure he is going to need some support in the next few weeks. Tell everyone I said hello and I will keep you in my prayers. I'll try and call in a couple of weeks to check on everyone.

Love,

Uncle Ronnie and Janice Cook
