Dear Pat, We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss Earl greatly. We'll miss talking with him over the fence while we did our yard work. He always had a smile for us and I think he enjoyed our cats as well. We will keep you in our prayers and if you need us we are here for you.
Wishing you and your family peace and comfort in your memories.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I used to enjoy talking to Earl when we worked together. We shared a lot of good memories. I used to ask him about the Hardy's whom I knew from the old West End.
