Brenda and Tif-

We were all shocked and saddened to learn about Billy. He was a great guy, always a smiling face for the girls at all their games, good and bad. I will always think of him with a camcorder in hand recording Tif's legacy!
Our thoughts are with both of you during this very tough time.

Dear Brenda:
I was so sorry to hear the news that Charles had passed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I remember meeting Charles at various Ethyl parties years ago. He had a big smile and was friendly and easy-going. He will be missed by many, many people. Brenda, I wish the best for you and Tiffany as you both move forward. You are strong and smart, a good mother, and you always got the job done. I know you can continue to do so. Again, my condolences and best wishes for you and your family. Sincerely, John Loop

Brenda & Tiffany,

My thoughts and prayers are with you both during this difficult time. I have many fond memories from when Taylor and Tiffany played softball together. I still have videos from Tornados softball that Billy made. Call if I can ever do anything for you.
May God give you comfort and strength in your time of grief.

With love,
