To Theresa and Family:
I was very sorry to hear of Omar’s
passing. He was so help ful and
kind and much appreciated by many.
We had good times at our table when
you were with us at Seely Brown. I
know, Theresa, you are going to
miss him very much – just like I
miss my husband George who passed
away three years ago. When we have
our next hymnsing it would be nice
to have a prayer in his memory and
a hymn sung special for him.
