<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear Lynda,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Bill and I join the host that
celebrate with you your Father's death. I don't remember ever meeting him, but
we certainly do recall the visit of you and your Mother when we were living in
Colquitt. Seems a long time ago!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But such a delight!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Blessings on all your
family, and wild rejoicing in the heavens-- whatever that means today in strings
or molecules. (We haven't quite conquered the new image in the Christian church,
have we? But our hearts can see!!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Grace and peace,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Nan and Bill
Grow</FONT></DIV>
