Steve and Marie and Family,
So sorry to hear the sad news. Our thoughts are with you today and will be in the next few days. Hope that you are all doing okay....so sorry that we will not be able to attend the services as we will be doing the same thing on the same days for my Dad. Our hearts will be together with yours as we go through this experience simultaneously. Kinda strange how it happened this way....I guess our parents will be taking the journey together. May God bless them both, open the gates of heaven when they arrive and make their memories eternal. Hope to see you after things settle down.
With our love and deepest sympathy,
Ron, Corinne, Joe and Steven

Dear Susan, Jimmy, and Steven - and yet another chapter in our lives closes. I will always remember the old times in the Grove when your Mom would stand at the fence or front door yelling to us in the circle not to hit the car with the whiffle ball, or tell us as we got older, not to park in your Dad's spot! We all have fond memories of our lives, and the memories are what get us through in this time of saddness. My thoughts and prayers are with you. With heartfelt sympathy to you and your children.
