Dear Carol, Nancy and Larry, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to all of you. Although I didn't know your father for very long, I will never forget my visits with him. I can still hear him say, "Mary, it is so good to see you come and sit down and let's talk." We would then talk about all the happenings in the news and his favorite subject--religion. He was such a sweet and caring man. I will never forget his kindness and his big welcoming smile.

Sincerely,


Mary

Nancy,
I am so sorry about your father passing, I was looking to see if you have the same e-mail, just I entered your maiden name (today) and read the sad news. It was pure coincidence that it just happened. Please whenever you can send me your phone number. Our condolences to all of you.
A hug from us,
Olguita

Aunt Ginny, Carol,Larry and Nancy,
I will miss Uncle Kenny. As is said in his orbits “Uncle Kenny was a generous, kind, and devoted man”. I truly loved Uncle Kenny. I have such fund memories of the farm in Dutzow with the Stoughs. Uncle Kenny would take us on long walks along the railroad tracks. He would bring his snow cone machine and we would have snow cones – that was so cool! He teased me about becoming a nun. He knew I liked boys instead. Here's something special he did that I'll always remember. He made my family's Christmases very special with his kindness. Uncle Kenny and Aunt Ginny were always there to support my parents and our family. I know he loved and was very proud of our large family. I heard this saying “The service we render others is the rent we pay for our room on earth” This is Uncle Kenny. He was a true Angel.

I know how important your husband and dad was in your life and your care and support during these last few months must have brought him great comfort. Your relationship was quite special and while this makes the loss so very painful. I do believe that your closeness and warm memories will bring you comfort.
Sincerely and love you guys,
Claire and Dan Patterson

Virginia and Family,

We regret that we are not able to personally extend our sympathy on the passing of Charlie at this time. How often I have thought of both of you whenever passing your apartment on Grand Avenue and the many times we shared at social gatherings at St. Stephen's over the years.

Know that you and your family will be in our prayers. There were so many years and so many memories made that you can treasure always.
