My sister, Virginia Rowan Kelley, her late husband, W. T. Kelley, and daughter Elon Kelley Greer were very close and extremely fond of Hoyt and Ernestine. I visited in their home with Virginia. May God's peace sustain you in your loss.

We are so sorry to hear about your father. I remember the story you told about how he loved to drink a cup of coffee and look out at the field of his horses. I have never forgotten that story.
