Archer Family,

I was honored that you asked me to help with the service for Poppy. During the service I thought about the role the entire Archer family has had in my life and the history that Mc'Lain and I have. Poppy and Helen were both so open and kind to me, as well as all of the extended Archer family. I specifically recall a Christmas dinner that I was fortunate enough to attend at Poppy's and Helen's home. There are so many other events out at the Duryea proterty that I will never forget. Poppy's sense of humor and willingness to be a friend to me will always be remembered. Thank you all for giving me that opportunity. Poppy is smiling on you all.

Fielding,
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your father and pass the same along to your son Henry and your niece, Sally. Back when Sally worked for Watkins Nurseries(1989) we enjoyed a little get together at your parents house and I had the pleasure of meeting your mother and father, which left a lasting impression. Our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.
