I'm sorry Mark that I haven't been back here for a while. Sheila is with you now and I know y'all are having a ball. We miss you and we're going to miss Sheila also. We miss all of you. We will all be there before long but in the meantime you help Sheila watch over her children. They're going to miss her so. I love you Mark and you are one of the best Brothers that a girl could ask for. I'll be seeing you soon. Your sister, Patsy!
