Donna, Tony & Donna,

I was just reading the Aiken Standard online & saw that your mother had died & I hate that I will not be able to attend her services as I am in Japan with Ash & his family. You know I would be there if I were in Aiken as I knew her since I was young (& her
too) & was always fond of your wonderful family. Love, Bunny
