your birthday today you would have been 81 .. rest now love nana

I have waited far too long to send a message to all of you. I was one of the "kids" from Gordon College who eventually became one of Fran and Jimmy's "kids". They were my parents when I was living far from home for the first time in 1981. They saw me through all of the milestone events of my adult life - college, dating, wedding plans, first apartment, the birth of my first baby, etc. All I can say is, Jimmy had the sassiest sense of humor and was just a good devoted friend.

Happy Fathers day Dad.

Dear Bumpy,
My memories of you are composed of warm family times with Marilyn, Jim, Alex and Lindsay. Your sense of humor and gentleness will be missed. It is a relief to know that you no longer have to endure the pain that you shouldered so bravely, and for such a long time. My memories of you will be about that bravery, and your special warmth. Thank you Bumpy !

OUR SINCEREST SYMPATHY TO YOU FRAN. IT'S HARD TO LOSE THE ONE'S WE LOVE.

YOU WILL BE IN OUR PRAYERS AND

AGAIN WE ARE SO SORRY.
GOD BLESS.
LOVE ALWAYS.
FRANK AND ARLENE

I have a lot of great memories, like driving the tractor with you and being excited for you when you recieved dried appricots for Christmas. I may not remember a lot of the things we did when I was young, but I love to look at pictures, like you tickling me or you and I hand in hand walking to the park. And it reminds me that you and I had a very special...
