Dear Larry and Gordon, I want to express my sympathy to you in the loss of your Mother. I saw her about five years or so ago with my Aunt Peggy and Buck's wife, Barbara. She always seemed to be a sweet lady though I never got to see her very often after my family left Chimney Rock. I know you all will miss her. Sincerely, Marcia Stokes
