Cindy & Steve,

Vann will be in our hearts always. He was a terrific man and valued his family above all. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Cyndy, I am so sorry to hear of your fathers passing away. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Cyndy:
I'm very sorry to see that your Dad has passed. I saw him not too very long ago out walking the dog. As Mont said, I always thought he was a "hip" guy! My best to you and Steve.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Kay and Mari-Lee also send their best wishes. I am truly sorry I could not be with you and Steve for the Service and Memorial.
