Mrs. Live say, we are so sorry for your loss. We have kept up with news from your family through Billy and Kara. It is no surprise to anyone, they are two of our favorite young people. Their love for their grandparents was evident every time we talked to them. We know they will really miss their grandfather. We will continue to keep your family in our prayers. Dan and Karla Ogden

When I was ten I lived down on the corner of 32nd and Semmes. In the summer, I would come to your home and help out with the girls.I loved helping Margie and learned alot from her how to "mother." I remember how much Mr. Livesay loved his family and although I had a Christian home was blessed to see another home too where there was love and kindness shown to each member. I pray, and know the Lord will pour out HIS Grace and Mercy on you all at this difficult time.
