Judy & family,
I have fond memories of visiting your parents with my mom, Florence Bice Rainey as a child. My mom and yours were cousins and shared the Myrtle middle name. We wish we could be there for the funeral, but I am homebound recovering from a bone marrow transplant. Please know that we have you close to our hearts, and in our prayers. May you be comforted to know that they are with loved ones in a big family reunion. Love from Mike & Cheryl Rainey Yasuda
