Chase and Travis, Rick and I, along with Cowden, were so sad not to be there for Townley's service. Cowden's wife Ellen was due to deliver their second baby any time and we knew we would have to isolate after being in a group of people. We would definitely have been there but were with you via Zoom. I thought the service was beautiful and so, so personal. Your mother was a good friend to so many, many people and was truly a ray of sunshine. She will be missed. I know how proud she was of you two and your families.
All the best to both of you,
