Dear Dean, Todd, Kendy, and Daryl
Small town community means large extended family. Been along time since I've seen you, but I did see your Dad and Kendy in Sept. I'm thinking and praying for my "old" classmate and his family at this time. Love to all and God Bless you

Dear Brown Family,
Harry was a great guy and a kind father-in-law to me. I was sorry to hear of his passing, but as you mentioned Kendy, he can now join Marilyn "on the hill." May your memories of him sustain you during this time.
With Love,
Julie
