      Rick, We were so distressed and sorry to hear about JoAnn. You have our sympathy and prayers for comfort for you and your family. When I talked to you at Walmart, I guess I missed the depth of your distress for which I am so deeply sorry. Now you and Jim Frank’s children are all that is left of the Orr name. If I can be of any help at all, give me a shout and I will do whatever I can to assist you in your distress. Rod and Connie Reid
