Dear Leland and Carol,
We were so sorry to hear about the death of your son Jim. Mike Milroy still sees the Lawrence paper and keeps up on some of the happenings there so he saw the notice in the paper and sent the word on to us.
We didn't really know your children, but are sad to learn of Jim's death. I can't really imagine the sorrow that must attend the death of one of your children. We do pray that the Lord will provide his comfort and grace to you in the time of this hard providence.
With our love and prayers,
Jerry and Saundy
