Our family wishes to express our sympathy to Aunt Lyla and family. We enjoyed visiting with you and getting to know you better when we had opportunity to visit at Grandmother and Granddaddy's home here in Georgia and when we visited in Salt Lake in the 90's.

Dear Aunt Lyla and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time. We know he is well again. Maybe he is even playing golf with my Michael. Maybe one day we will get to see you again.
Love, Cathy(Black)Sheeley and family

Dear Lyla and family. I am so sorry for your loss. I too agree that he is with his parents, his grandsons, and other family. I have fond memories of being part of the family and spending some time working with Dewey at Streator Chevrolet. He always treated me with great respect and friendship. He always wanted to play the Augusta golf course. I wish I could have arranged it for him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Lyla and family we thank you so much for your love and kindness over the years. We are thankful we were able to visit with you and Dewey last October. We know he is now at peace.

Lyla:

Although it has been several years since you and Dewey were part of our neighborhood and ward we still have many fond memories of working with you and being a friend. Dewey was a great guy and got us some pretty neat cars. He was always helpful and had a great attitude when helping others. I even remember our talks about Streator Chevrolet....how long ago was that? We miss the choice times but remember the great smile. We know the Lord will bless you in the way you need right now.
