I loved your parents from the moment I met them because of the love and laughter they brought to my "other parents" Patty and Paul! I have Bea's Chicken Vermouth recipe (YUM!) and a gingerbread man Gordy made me out of wood, (that he signed!) so I will always remember them with joy! Heaven is an even more jubilant place now that they are together again! I will remember you all in my prayers.
In sympathy, Debbie Sherrill

Dear Robyn, Tracy and Family
We were saddened to receive the news of your Dad's death. The great times we had together including the Reading trips to gather Christmas greens will always be a special memory... sausage stew and all. It is difficult to imagine both Bea and Gordie gone but they will live in all of our hearts forever. Thinking of them will always bring a smile to our faces. You all have our sincere sympathy.
With love,
Barbara and Michael Reiniger
