Aunt Frances,
I was so sorry to hear of Thomas' passing. Nancy (Mitchell) just told me last week that he was not doing well. I have fond memories of the times that Lewis and I visited you and Severn when we first married. I know that you will miss him, but it is such a blessing to know that he will suffer no more. My prayer is that God will comfort you and your family over the coming days, weeks and months and that the memories of a life well lived will bring you much joy.

In sympathy,
Judy J. Ellison

carry your sorrow and gentle enough to ease your pain.
