I am thinking of your family today...sorry I couldn't be there. I have many fond memories of the days when we lived across the road in the little house. You and "Louie" were always wonderful neighbors, and Wendy and the girls had such fun together.
I am so sorry for your loss...my prayers are with you....

Mrs. Freer, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful husband. He was a good, good man and wonderful bus driver! Though it was many years ago that I rode a bus he drove, I have never forgotten him (or you!). One of my favorite memories was when the two of you hosted a halloween party in your barn. That was the best halloween party ever. My sympathies go out to all of you.

Lewis had a long, worthwhile life. The world is lessened by his passing. I offer the sympathies from all of Harold and Joyce Marsh's children and their families.

Mr. Freer was my favorite bus driver. I like to tell everyone how he'd always stop the bus for 10 mins on the last day of school, have us put up the windows and let us scream, holler and throw paper wads to get it out of our system. He always had a smile on his face. Will keep your family in our prayers.

"Louie" was our favortie busdriver as he was always kind to all kids but also made sure that everyone behaved properly. He was a very old friend and school chum of my father and we would often stop to visit on our way to Dansville. He will definately be missed by his family and community.

While I did not get to know him well, I will never forget him wheeling over to welcome us to the neighborhood and share stories with us. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you all in my prayers.

Genevieve and family,

Please accept our sympathies at this time. We are sorry for your loss. Having gone through this ourselves twice in the past two years we know how much it hurts. However, the good memories are always there.

Marti,
My heart aches with you in your loss. These last few years have not been easy for you and your dad. But at last he is in the arms of the Lord. Visualize him there and cherish his memories. My love and prayers are with you and your family.
