Patricia,

Your mom always seemed to be happy.

I know we didn't spend much time together, because of the distance between our homes but I always knew

you all were there in Charleston.

I am going to try and visit some in the future. Take care of yourself!

Hugs,

Your cousin Betty

Odd how memories keep popping up today of our long friendship. I keep remembering the time when Bunny was the first to come see me in the hospital forty years or so ago.

Patricia, don't ever let a happy memory make you sad. You can draw courage forever from remembering Ray and Bunny's pride and joy in having you for a daughter. Lovingly, Anne Pooser.
