Dear Paula, Billie and Brian:

I was saddened to learn of your Mother's recent passing. Although I have not seen you in quite a few years; I have fond memories of your family, growing up in Old Goodwood during the 50's. I take occasional trips down “memory lane”, and can't go past the old house without thinking of you. And, I was fortunate enough to visit with Barry shortly after the opening of his restaurant. My sympathies go out to your entire family. Sincerely,

Kathy Bowman,
Prairieville

It was wonderful to get to visit with your Mom during her stay at Williamsburg. Chatted about Piedmont, Friday Night Group and more. She and Mom enjoyed their time together at Williamsburg. Looks like there's quite a gathering in Heaven for the Friday Night Group!
