Mrs Deal, I was so sorry to hear of your husbands passing. He was a jubilant man who never failed to leave me with a smile. I will miss him, and so will all who knew him

Dear Mary Frances,
I'm so glad I got to see both of you recently and laughter still rings in my heart from our short visit. God must have needed some humor and decided to call on the best to come be with him! I'm so glad you both got to share your love and this lifetime together.
May God watch over you and keep you safe and comforted at this difficult time.
Love You,
Faye

Nana,
I am here for you whenever you need me. I know this was sudden and I still havent truely come to terms with it. No more toe nail painting or Old Maid cards to be had until we're up there in heaven with him. We will pull through and I will remember all of the good times we had together. Like the time he tried to convince me that cat food was roasted peanuts, or the time he had me completely convinced that he swallowed a watermelon seed and thats how he got so round. haha. I will miss him with my whole heart but I know that he is in the hands of god, and that is the only thing that makes it okay. <3

Dear Mary,
I know I didn't know your family well but I wanted to know how saddened I was to hear of Perry's passing. The two of you made such an impact on me in your warmth and joyfulness. Just the sweet way you treated eachother was a pleasre to watch. This year when you came in to the office to do your taxes you were a littl early and I hadn't come in yet and when I arrived Perry was sitting on the tailgate of your truck/van?? swinging his legs, just content with life. That is what I enjoyed about the two of you. I can't say I've ever done this before but I wanted you to know he will be missed. If I'm any indication, just being an acqaintance, I'm sure his friends and family will miss him deeply. I am so thankful that he loved God.
Sincerely
Susan Currey
