To all of you I wish to extend my sympathy for your loss. I know I have not kept in touch but you have always been in my thoughts and my heart. I am in Georgia now but am in Richmond for a few weeks. I cannot think of my teenage years and not think of how much you all influenced my life. Much love to all.

I don't believe I ever thanked Early for being a Father to my nieces and nephews. I relly regret that. However, I did tell him I loved him so maybe he understood that I really did appreciate all he did for them.

Early was a great man. I first met Early back in 1992 when I was a teller at the Front Royal FCU. I later went to bookkeeping and enjoyed when Early came in to do our audits. He was a joy to work with and will truly be missed.
