Several times a week I would take my young twin boys to Bob Evans for breakfast. Somehow, we were always seated near Pres and Marge. They always made a fuss over my boys, and would comment on how well behaved they were. Pres will be missed!

Dear Marg,
Ginny and I heard Sunday that Pres had gone to heaven. You have our sincerest sympathy. I dread the day that I could be left on earth without Ginny but I would hate to leave her, too. You carry the larger weight of grief and we will pray that God will sustain you in His grace and peace.
