Mrs. Owens and Family,
I was saddened to read of the death of Mr. Owens. No one could of asked for better neighbors then yourselves. Even though you are gone from Ohio, you were never forgotten. Whenever I visit my parents house, I look at your old house and think of you. May God be with you and your family in your time of need.
Regards,
Brian K, Gorris, Jr.
