Dear Tammy and John: I wish I could list all of the wonderful memories I have of Aunt Ruth and Uncle John. I loved Christmas at your house and all the fun times we had at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I always loved to come visit your family. My two older boys still think of Uncle John as "Santa Claus" when he grew his beard out. Mom (Margaret) is wishing she could be there for the funeral, but she is still recovering from her stroke. She talks about Aunt Ruth and Uncle John often. Love, Mardi and Aunt Margaret.

Dear John and Tammy,
We are so sorry about the death of your father. I know you have great memories of both your parents which will bring comfort in the days to come. My favorite is the 4th of July barbeques in the backyard, with home made icecream and the sparkles. Your mom and dad were a blast. Our thoughts are with you both.

Dear John and Tammy,
Words cannot express our sadness. The world is a lesser place without your dad. We still hear his laugh and see his bright smile. We are so sorry we can’t be there with you, but you are in our thoughts. We are all blessed to have such wonderful memories of Grandpa John and Grandma Ruth and the rich lives they shared. They are together again at last.

Tammy,
Sorry to hear about your dad. I can clearly recall the number of times when we were playing and he would come looking for you for dinner! I was just thinking of those great times we had as young children. My thoughts are with you and your brother.
