Dear Jean, Teresa, and family. I worked at Bowincals for almost 2 years and in that time I grew to know & love you guys. Delmar was such a wonderful, kind man and I am so glad I had the honor of knowing him. I haven't seen any of you in some time, but I have been keeping Delmar in my thoughts after talking to Sommer a few times about him. Please know I have you all in my prayers & I'm sorry for your loss.

Dear Jean & Family, I was so sorry to about Delmar. I haven't stayed in touch with everyone like I should. It seems as though the time just slips away and we don't get to do all the things like we used to do. I remember a time when we all saw each other often at Weddie and Bill's and "Pussycat White's", I am sure you remember that Jean. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I love each and everyone of you and miss you all. Love Mona Lisa
