My greatest of sympathies are with all the family. I am a daughter to Claudia Putnam. I enjoyed the visit we had with "Uncle Bill" when he came to visit the hills of Tennessee. I especially enjoy his brother, Claude, who is my grandfather. [I bet they are cut out of the same cloth.]

Again, my condolences are with you all. May the words of Job 14:13&14 be of encouragement to you.

My sincere sympathy for our 'Kansas' family. We enjoyed many visits from all of you, and I know how much you will all miss your father and grandfather. I get much comfort from the words at John 5:28,29 and hope you can also. Love, Claudia and family

Although I have never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Putnam, I know he is loved by his family. The way the Putnam children have coordinated to help their parents demonstrates this love. My deepest sympathies to all of you; you are in my prayers.
