Not sure what to say?

I was sorry to hear of J.R.'s passing. He was a great neighbor and friend. Our prayers are with Pat and the family.

Pat: Gerry S. called about Junior. We are so sorry to hear about his passing. We were friends for many years. Jim and Pearl Stockstill

It has been our pleasure to have known J.R. and you, Pat, through square dancing, traveling and card club. We are so sorry that J.R. had such a rough last year and we will sorely miss him. We will always have him in our memory as an easy going, fun loving guy. Our most sincere sympathy to you and your family. Love, Russell and Betty Ann

Love Ya

Marlane & I wish to extend our sympathy for your loss. I was surprized because he was in Tim's hardware and we talked about the grand kids.
