Dearest Beverly & family:
A candle has been lit for John and our hearts are blessed with the thought that he will always be with us. John was kind, caring, loving, funny, patient, understanding and more. Our catching up with you all at Olive Garden with Mom and Dad, him being the only adult to go swimming at the last family picnic at Uncle Bob & Aunt Doris' home -- these are things that will remain with us.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, love. We'll see you soon.
Love,
Cuz Patty & Ron

To a man who showed me kindness and respect at a time in my life when many adults did not like me. He will always be in my memory and never forgotten. I am better off to have known him :)

Mrs Tisdale and family, please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I have a very fond memory of Dr Tisdale from Intro to Psych. He told us about a time when he drove to get his haircut, but then walked home. Completely forgetting that he had driven the car to the barbershop. He said the look on your face when he walked in the door, without the car, was one he would never ever forget. He was very real and down to earth. I appreciated that. ----LeeAnn (Crosby) Scherbik Class of 1992 Cedar Crest College

Dear Deb,
I'm sorry to learn that your dad passed, but glad you and your family had him for all these years! I remember feeling inspired by his scholarly pursuits of psychology and theology in our rural suburb of Whitehall when we were high school/college friends. I'm sure he helped many people in addition to being a family man, and you will miss him. Wishing you and your family strength in your grief.
Love,
Edie
