Dear Lora and family,
As soon as I heard of your father's passing I immediately remembered how he would yell,"It's Forever". My name being Amber, he was referring to the almost banned book, "Forever Amber". That was more than 20 years ago and just that simple thought brought a smile to my face. You know he brought joy to many. So sorry for your loss but it's memories like those that you will cherish and comfort you during the difficult times. Thinking of you.

I truly feel Emmett was one of the great pioneers of Foster; so involved, devoted, and loved by so many neighbors and friends. He will always be apart of this town, in memory and thoughts by all that where lucky enough to have met him.

Lora and Phil,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my mother a few years ago and know there is no equal grief than that of losing a beloved parent. Let your memories give you comfort at this time. Your father's spirit will shine through your three beautiful children, and Lora, you will always see his smile in the mirror. God bless you all.

I didn't know your father Lora, but if the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree, then I'm sure he was a joy to this world, a shining star in a dreary sky, a blessing to his family and friends, and an important figure in community and life.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this most sad occasion.
love to you,

Dear Mrs Kennedy and all the family,
There is so much to say that I could go on forever... like how Andrew and I were constantly trying to catch Midnight every time he broke loose! And I really can't remember a time I couldn't escape down the road to go swimming or just to get a piece of candy when mom wouldn't let me have any at home! I'll always smile knowing I heard my first swear words from his mouth!
Much Love,
Katie Mroczka Jones

Dear Lora and family,
I only met your Dad on a couple of occassions but I have to agree that he was one hell of a guy. He made me feel like part of the family immediately - just like his daughter. I love you and am sorry for your loss.
