Martha,
Two and a half years ago we moved to the area. We were fortunate enough to pick the Best Western to stay at while we found a place to live since we met the nicest couple, you and Clement. I have never forgotten you two and how sweet you both were when we knew noone. I applogize for no calling you once we were settled but I will never forget your offer if we needed anything. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. If you need anything please do not hestitate to call. Our local number is 910-245-7691.
