To Larry, Becky, family, and friends:
Mark and Kay Sollie want you to know you are on our minds and in our hearts. We feel the sadness because you do,,,, and we both know what it's like to lose ones father. Remember that he has joined his loved ones in Heaven and you will be reunited with him again the same way! After all, death is a transition to another life and one far superior to our earthly life because of the company we get to enjoy! We are temporarily separated though it may seem like a long time. God is good.....God is great.

So glad that our Kathleen and Savanna were able to meet Uncle Clarence and Aunt Myrt. This picture was taken Dec 26, 2008
