Bob, I too remember your parents well. As a young person, I thought your mother was the epitome of a LADY. She always said and did the right thing and was so gracious. She was also a wonderful friend to my mother, Fern Arms. You have my deepest sympathy in this time.

Bob, Dan and Paul, I remember your parents well when your Dad was Pastor at the First Baptist Church in Payette, Idaho. My mother was the church secretary then. You are fortunate to have had your mother for such a long time. She was a remarkable lady. May God comfort you in your loss.
