Dear Humphreys family,

Your mother was such a wonderful lady. As brilliant and accomplished as she was, she had incredible patience with me as a student. I think I was in the 4th grade at Sumas Christian Elementary School when I started taking piano lessons from Mrs. Humphreys, and I continued with her through my sophomore year of highschool. How I wished later that I had continued under her tutalege. I am sure that you miss her very much. May you experience God's grace and comfort...

Brian, Evan, Stan and familes,
What a remarkable woman. Al and David always talked fondly of Alva, Walter and your sister Jean. Memories will keep her in your hearts forever. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
With love,
Edie, Sarah and Al

Brian and Shirley, you are in our prayers as you go through this difficult time. I will call you when we get back home.

Friendship with your Mother and Father meant so much to us in years past. We always admired your Mother's music abilities and your Dad was an awesome mentor to me during the brokerage years, as well as a spiritual mentor. We also enjoyed playing tennis with him.

You have each been blessed to have parents who have had Godly values taught in the home.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.....may you receive the peace that only He can give.
