Mr. Poskitt,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Ann, Ken and family, I was so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I know that he was loved dearly and will be missed greatly. Even though I am not technically family, I do still care about all of you and always will. You are in my prayers

Grampie,

You and Grammie were always so great to me. I will never forget how you were my 'adopted grandparent's' because mine lived so far away.

I love you both and will miss you.
