"I was so sorry to hear about Mrs. Barker passing away. I haven't seen her in years but kept up with her through April and Ben. I always thought alot of her and your entire family. You all were extended family for Jason and I for many years and she was like a grandmother to us during that time. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
