Jeanette and Diane, My mother in law who is still in Durham called me yesterday with news of your father's passing. Becky and I wish to extend our most sincere sympathies to the entire family. When I learned of Fletcher's passing I immediately thought of happy Saturday nights watching the church softball league, year's ago. Our prayers are with you. Take care.

Nelson and I are both so deeply saddened by Fletcher's passing, He meant so much to so many of us and especially to my family growing up. I have many dear memories of our family vacations with my parents and Margaret and Fletcher and Dianne. His presence has been missed at church but so happy he is now reunited with his dear Margaret. Our prayers are with you all.
