John and Family,
my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad time. I was very blessed to have known both your parents. They would come into the dental office and share many stories about the family. They will be missed. I hope you can find comfort in the memories you hold in your hearts.
love,
Rebecca McDonald

I have known both Jim and Ann for seventeen years as patients in a dental practice where I am employed. Jim shared many stories of his time in the military when my son was deployed in Iraq. I've known them both to be warm and caring, devoted to each other and I truly feel blessed to have known them. They will be sorely missed. My condolences to all.

John and family,
I was shocked to hear of your Mom's passing last week and deeply saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. They were special people and I loved when they came into the office for their dental cleanings. Always talked about your families and how much they loved you all. God bless you and your families at this difficult time. Their love is eternal.
Much love,
Jean M. Bulman RDH

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all again at this very sad time. We can't imagine your pain of losing both parents in such a short period of time. Hope you can take some comfort in knowing that they are together.
God Bless you,
Joan & Dick Van Patten
