Barb,
I remember living in your house while ours was being built. We had a great time, and have fond memories of our time there, as well as of you and Chick.

My 4 1/2 yr. old daughter, Emily is the one who sent Chick the letter, and when I told her of his passing and where he is now, she has made it a point to say a prayer for him at bed every night. I tell her stories of living in your house, your beautiful gardens, and the time I found out that the Easter Bunny could find us anywhere. He was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed.

With affection and deepest sympathy,
Jessica (Lavoie) Snyder, Ken & Jody Lavoie, Laurie (Lavoie) Ossenfort...................and our entire family

Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of your husband. I didn't know him well, but remembered singing christmas carols at your home and seeing how much he appreciated it. Everyone of us that were there that evening will cherish the short time we spent with both of you that evening. My prayers are with you and your family.
