Mrs.Toni,

I was so sadden at the news of Mr. Tyler. Often throughout the years you and Mr. Tyler have been in my thoughts and prayers. My prayer for you today is that the Lord "bless" you and your family with his grace during this time. Fifty five and a half years of marriage, is such a wonderful testament of love. He will be missed, God Bless you all. Lovingly keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Margo

It was a shock to learn of Tyler's death. I know the whole family and the entire community is deeply saddened by his passing. It seems like yesterday that we were together at Soley's birthday affair and it was such a pleasure to renew old times (and fun times).

His loss leaves a big empty space. Patsy joins me in sending our condolences to Toni and T J and the rest of the family.
