Dear Tom and Family,
I know and understand the deep loss you are feeling at this time. I wish I could be there to share my condolences with you. I am down with a terrible sinus infection and wouldn't want to infect anyone. It meant the world to me to see you at my dad's visitation. I wish I could return the favor. When I saw your dad's picture in the paper it brought back so many great memories. He was a wonderful man who helped raise a terrific family. Let those memories help ease the...

"Ma," Bobby, Lynn, Tommy, and Cindy,
I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Bader's passing. I will always remember gruff but lovable "Pa" Bader shaking his head and growling, with eyes twinkling, at the lake kids for doing something stupid (usually Tommy and Tod, actually). I only saw him once or twice a year as an adult, but he always stopped his raking or shoveling to have a short visit as I ran by.
Although you may be saddened by your loss, I hope you can take comfort in knowing...

I worked with Paul on the tool room study team when Kelly Beardslee was at the plant. Paul was such a nice person and a gentleman. I remember him as the very nice man that he was. God has him now.
