Barbara & Irving,
I was so sorry to hear of the death of Irving's mother. And I was especially sorry to only hear of it when it was too late for me to attend her memorial service. You are in our thoughts and prayers - we love you both. Sending hugs until we can give them in person!
Love, Bill & Karen

Dear Irving and Barbara,

Your family is in our prayers as your journey through this time....the loss of your mother. I hold many fond memories of your parents as a child when we would visit in the summers at my grandparents in Petersburg, or "The Sanford Cove" on Lake Gaston!

May God bless your family with his grace and peace.

Love, Glenn, Terry(Lou), Philip and Jonathan Nelson
