Dear Billy Jean, I planned to attend the visitation Mon. night but the rain prevented my ride to Fayetville. I then planned to ask Dalton Steele for a ride since he planned to come today. I noticed they were reading meters so I’m sure he had to change his plans. This morning is a reminder of what it is like to have lost the love of your life. I pray God will comfort you as He has me. Love and more, Anne Simmons
