Dear Susan and Kirk,
I just learned of the passing of your parents. I am so very sorry for your loss. You lost your loving parents, Canal Fulton two stalwart citizens, and the Church they loved so much two of her finest members. I do remember them dearly from the many years together at church and many social functions. May the good Lord give you and your families strength and love in this time of bereavement.

Two of the best people I know. Wonderful memories. Could not have had better neighbors. Can hear Harold's even as I write this.

I also didn't know the Chapmans and I do want to express my condolences to the family but I celebrate the life they must have lived together and now 'still' together! Their picture shines through the love they had for each other.Take comfort in knowing that they are starting a whole new life with their Heavenly Father at HOME!

I didnt know this couple... I don't know the circumstances, but this made me so sad for this family. My mother-in-law passed away in 2002 and my father-in-law a few short months later... and I truly believe he died of a broken heart after 61 years together. My heartfelt sympathy to this family. Swigart-Easterling handled my sister and my Dad's services and quite beautifully. Again I am so sorry. Remember... your parents are friends you can never lose... for they are tied to your heartstrings forever.

Have fun in Heaven you two;)
Heartbreaking for the ones left behind but look at that picture. God bless you all.

Dear Susie and Kirk,
So sorry for the loss of both your Mom & Dad within a day of one another...but, oh what a blessing for the two of them. They were two of the "Saints" in our church and within the entire community! They will certainly be missed, but remembered with great love and respect. God Bless all of you!
