Betty/Scott ... I just got in on Friday night. My mother tried to call me all weekend and could not reach me. I am so sorry to hear about Tom. If I can do anything for you, let me know. I am the only David R. Hawkes in the Winston-Salem phone book.

Both Sid and I have fond childhood memories of Tom coming to our home in Bluefiel, W.Va. Tom and I would alway team up on Sid. He was a kind and loving cousin, my regret is that we did not keep in touch as we have aged. I know you will be lost without him,and our prayers and love are with you. Love and sympthy to you and Scott. Brendajo
and Sidney
