To the family of Mr. Billy Harrelson:
I only knew Mr. Harrelson and you for a short period of time while he was in the same room as my husband, Robert W. McIntyre, but I could tell he was a good man by things he said while he was in distress. It was very evident he had a loving and caring family and it was a pleasure to share moments with you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers in days to come. Sincere sympathy in your loss.
With love,
