    My sincere condolences for the loss of Mrs. Conte. As her mail carrier, I saw her only once or twice (usually outside the car), but I noticed how regal she was. She reminded me a bit of former Texas Gov. Ann Richards.

    We send our condolenses to Ralph and his family. We knew Norma for a short time, but the first time we meet, she made us feel welcome to the 416th BG meeting in Pink Hill, NC. We will miss her.
    Love,
    Jane & Doug
