Not sure what to say?

Dear Larry and Phil,

Jack and Catherine were dear neighbors for all the years our family lived next door. We had your folks on one side and the Houlroyd's on the other, couldn't be better! I recall when they moved in and we liked them from day one. Your mom was always a sweetheart and forever in my memory is Jack calling her "my bride". My parents were amazed when your folks thoughtfully loaned them their brand new car (1 day old) to drive up to my wedding in Conn. Your folks were...

I share in my sister's memories of playing as a child around Jack and Kay's property and recall them as so kind and good with us kids.

Your family would not know me, but I remember Jack and Kay. I am the granddaughter of their former neighbors on Ainsworth St., Pat & Ed Hutchinson.

Dear Larry & Phil,

It disappoints me greatly that we are unable to pay our respects in person. Knowing your Moms' children and grandchildren, I can say she must have been an extremely proud women. We love you and are deeply saddend by your loss.

The Dukes Family,

This news broke our hearts in to a million pieces. Our Grammy will for ever live in our hearts. We hope you find peace in the Lord and remember that she will live on in the hearts of many.

Phil and Larry,

So sorry to hear about your mom. She was an outstanding LADY. We remember the times down Wildwood with both mom and dad. We had so much fun with both of them. Its hard to keep in touch when you move away. We hope this lets you know we are thinking about both of you and Kay will always be in our thoughts.
