I attented school both at Trenton and Jones Central as well as Trenton Baptist Church with Billy. I wish to express my sympathies to you and your family. I will be remembering you in my prayers.
I am sorry to hear about Mr. Mercer passing, but I know that he is in a better place now and not suffering. I enjoyed speaking to him when I worked at the bank in Carthage. I will miss him. Please let me know, if I can help in any way.
