Dear Debbie and Devin,
As a long time neighbor, many of our meetings were at the mailbox. We cannot remember being greeted by anything other than Zeke's big smile. Our world was made brighter by knowing Zeke. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both.
Sincerely,

Dear Devin, Debbie, and the rest of the family,
I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. He bravely fought bladder cancer with all his courage. I enjoyed him. I enjoyed all the presents and cards on all my birthdays ever since when Matt and Devin started dating in the fall of 2007. Rest in peace, Zeke. You will never be forgotten. You will always be watching over everyone's lives that you greatly impacted.
Love,
Robby
