Sally and family,
So sorry to hear about your father John. I'll always remember the times at mom's restaurant, John and Betty were always holding hands and then at Church, oh how they loved the kids. John and mom are sharing those memories now, they are in no more pain and suffering no more. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Mike and Diana,

Terribly sorry to hear of your father's demise. He was a kind man, even to a 14 year old girl, back in the "good old days". Not sure that you'll even remember me, but had to write and express my condolences.

To the family
May I express my deepest appreciation to have been able to meet and help take care of Mr. and Mrs.Deege at the Bickford Cottage while I was employed there. He will be greatly missed by a large number of family, friends, and the Quincy area and Adams County. You all are in my prayers for Jesus to lift you all up in his loving arms and embrace you in your time of need. God bless you all.
