Our memories of you are forever held in our hearts here on earth - until we meet again. Thank you for the good times and all the love we shared with you through the years....thank you for sharing Shelly with our family! We have been so blessed to have known you through the years. You are truly the angel we always knew you to be here on earth, and now God has made you one of His own in heaven.

I have such good memories of Babe --his bakery goodies, his cabbage-meat roll-ups, and his wife, LouAnne. LouAnne is one of my dearest friends since 7th Grade. After they married I would stop in and eat lunch with LouAnne while their first baby was sleeping. Kent & I were with them as couples several times. I have much love and respect for Babe and I send my love to LouAnne & their children. Helen Broadbent, Lindon, UT
