    Dear Rich and family,
    I am saddened to hear of Carole’s passing and so sorry for your loss. Carole was a sweet person and always very kind to me; even after my Epic paint spill at her(your) house all those years ago. It is a terrible club to be in, when you lose your mother. My condolences to you, your family, and your brother and sister. I know she will be missed.
    As they say, “May the dirt lie lightly on her”. With love, Tom Burless & family, Abilene TX
