To the family of Judy Worrell
Dear Parrish, Pageant and Price,
We were so sorry to learn of your mother's passing. Joe Worrell, your dad's brother, called and told us. He was in Florida attending the funeral of his younger brother, Eddie.
We were not in contact with your mother very much. We visited her at her work on one or two occasions and called her. We invited her to the family reunions, but she said she would feel uncomfortable coming. Even though we didn't get to know her really well, we were glad to have known her for a short while. We are sorry we did not get to know each of you personally.
May you be blessed at this difficult time and know that we keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
With love, Helen and Neldon Potter ( Kyle's aunt and uncle. Helen is Ed's sister.) Nancy and Kathy Potter: (Kyle's second cousins.)

I am your aunt. Kyle's youngest sister. I'm sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was always very nice to me. She always made me laugh and feel better about things. I remember Parrish and Pageant as small children and believe I met Pageant once as a young woman. Be strong...your mother was proud of you all. So is your dad. We love you.

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Judy, my cousin. The few times I saw her I was impressed with her friendliness and her great smile.
