Richard and Marian lived across the street from us in our subdivision in Oxford Township. Their cat was named Farley and Richard would take him out for a walk every day. They were kind, sweet, loving people and made us feel welcome. I miss them every day.

I sure do miss Marian and Richard
I used to be their house keeper at the Knolls Of Oxford until I had major back surgery. They were the best people ever and their little kitty Cinnamon. I have a lot of cats so they would always ask me questions about Cinnamon's mischievous behavior lol. Cinnamon would sit and wait for me, he knew when I was coming. They were all very precious to me

Jody,
Less than 30 minutes ago, I just wrote out a sympathy card to your mother on the passing of your father. I am so sorry for your loss. I served as a deacon with both your mother and father. Their Christian faith, love of family(especially your Emily) and kindness to others is what I fondly remember most about them.

Dear mom,
I knew this day would come at some point in my life, but nothing prepares you for that phone call. I will miss you everyday. I will always treasure the love, support, and encourage you always gave me. I had the best life any daughter could have had. I love and miss you and dad so much

I would like to say that Mirian was the sweetest lady I know. I used to be her housekeeper years ago at the Knolls of Oxford. Her and Richard were my faves up there with their little cat cinnamon. I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I lost my job up there due to medical reasons so it's been a long time that I had seen her. My deepest condolences go out to Jody and the family at this saddened time.
