[Oe List ...] Death of Chris Holcombe

[Doris Hahn via OE]

Dear George and Wanda,
Wish we were still in Austin area to be with all of you at the celebration
of Chris's life. We are so glad that you included the photo, because it
shows a quite different Chris from the one that was in our minds' eyes.
Please be free to mourn this death as you prepare to celebrate his life on
Saturday.

Grace and Peace are yours,
Doris and Charles Hahn
