My dear cousin, I will deeply miss you and will always remember the first bible verse you gave me to remember back in Lake Lure in the late 60″s. This verse ( I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me) will be with me forever and every time I hear or say it. I will think of you.
Love You
Your First Cousin
