To Ann and all of family. So sorry for your loss. I have known Rex for as far back as I can remember.He will be missed by all that knew him. We were in school together. He was always fun to be around. I am sorry I cannot come to his service. My daughter and I were in a wreck and I don't feel like I can come. I will be thinking about you .Again, I am very sorry/ with love.
