Dear Kenny, Doris & Valerie,
I was very sorry to read that your mother had passed away. She graduated from RHS with my mother, Maxine Miller Cantrell and they were friends back then. I remember your mother & dad very well from our high school days.
I regret I cannot see you in person, but my family and I will be out of town for the holiday weekend. Please know that you will be in my thoughts.
Best regards,
Roger Cantrell
