To Johnnie Draughon and my family,
Our hearts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. Barbara, as we called her was such a lovely person that always met you with a beautiful smile. At the last reunion in North Carolina, she exemplified, as always, the love for family and a warm spirit. We ask that our God will continue to comfort you and the family. We will continue to pray for you that God will continue to be your refuge and strength during this time. Our love is with you always.
