Daddy,
Well, it has been a year now since your passing. I miss you terribly and wish you could see your new great grandson, Max Patrick Yoder. He is beautiful and has a great smile like you did. I know that you would love to play with him like you did Lily and Luke. I still remember when we all got together for Christmas at Todd;s and the kids had just gotten their new bikes. You just loved being with them snd I wish you could see them play their different sports. They will be just as athletic as Todd and Susan. Well, I just wanted to tell you that I always loved you and I always will. Tell we meet again!
Your loving daughter!

To the Entire DeHart Family,

I was very shocked & saddened to hear of the passing of Russ. I had the pleasure of knowing him for a very short time, but he was one of the kindest, most intelligent men I'd ever met, with always a smile & a good word for everyone. He will forever be missed, but please take comfort in knowing that u now have a special guardian angel watching over u...

Daddy,
You were a great loving father and I will miss you terribly. I have heard from others that you were such a great kind gentleman and they will really miss you, also. I would like to thank my Uncle Punk and my step-sister Judith for helping me care for my father at home. I could not have done it without you. I would also like to thank all the nurses at Tidewell Hospice House and the home team that came out to the house to help us. They were all caring angels who helped my father. I would also like to thank everyone who came to the house to extend their sympathy.
