Kent, Roy, Dorlene and Families, I first met your Mother when I was Dorlene´s 3rd grade teacher at Wines School. Years later we became friends at Bethlehem Church where we shared stories about our children; I still miss not sitting close to you and John. You enjoyed writing notes of gratitude and encouragement to others and always included a tea bag along with your love. What a caring lady! My sympathy to your family.

I had the honor of meeting Jane a few years back and helping her out around the house. She was a sweet and funny woman, who always had a great story to tell. You will be missed dearly. Sending love to your family.

Grandma Little, there hasn´t been a moment since you left us that you haven´t been on my mind. I am grateful for everyday we got with you. Thank you for always supporting me and Dominique when it came to our artistic sides, for encouraging every endeavor we pursued. Where ever you are now, I hope your tea is always perfect, Flamingo is by your feet, and Grandpa Little by your side. And when we go to the Cabin next summer, I hope you´ll find a way to meet us there. Love you always.
