Marni Dear,
Your Dad was such a sweet person. We will always remember the holiday dinners that he attended at Mom and Dad's. His favorite phrase "Bite the Bite" will be a part of the family's vocabulary for many years to come. Ed and I are with you in spirit.

Love,
Ed & Linda

Gayle and family, I'm sorry for the loss of such a wonderful and loving man. Both of your parents are together once again sharing the love they had while here amongst family and friends. They will forever be watching over you, so when you are at a low point just remember to look toward Heaven and see them smile down at you.

Dear Marni, Gayle, and Lauren,
Having lost both my parents some time ago, I know this is a difficult time. But, as with my dad's passing, I celebrated that my mom and dad were together again in the Lord's Kingdom. It's all he ever wanted. So I will celebrate that your parents have also been reunited.
Love, Carla and family

Gayle, Marni, and Lauren,
Where do I begin...Al and I have so many fond memories of both your Dad and Mom, that I can't even begin to write about all of them. We laughed together, cried together, and even had a few drinks together. They were wonderful people and we loved them both dearly. Your Dad has had a tough time, since your Mom's passing and now they are together again...and I can hear Betty now...she will be so happy to see him.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this most difficult time.
We love you, girls and miss seeing you.

Dear Gayle & John, Marni and all the wonderful children,

Our heartfelt sympathies are with you! Your dear Father led a full and interesting life, despite the many challenges that came his way. I felt as though I knew him as you regaled me with stories over the years. One thing I know for sure is that he was a wonderful father, as he raised loving and loyal daughters and then grandchildren, who became my dear friends whom I cherish. His memory will live on through his lifetime of rich stories and his legacy of the genuine kindness you all represent.
God Bless You all as we send you our Hugs and Prayers.
