Mom,
I miss Dad so much! I think alot about growing up and the times we all shared:we would go on the air craft carrier to tour and do lunch; we went to the Officers Club on weekends and danced the night away; you and dad would let us get our shirley temples to drink; we would go to the Surf and Sand drive in-theater for a double feather and we could go to the play ground; and, there was the time when Sherry hit me with the train(stiches) or she punched me...

Sherry,
I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your father.

Your friend,

Ernestine & Family,
I have just received the word regarding Tom's departure. I know the time for now is difficult as you experience the emptiness that you are feeling. I shall always be grateful for having known him & his part in being our extended family.

May the Lord comfort you as He...

very much appreciate you letting me know of Tom's passing,we will keep you in our prayers.knowing Tom for 30 years seems like a long time, but it went by too fast,and we probably worked too hard, and missed some good times.i will always remember Tom as a gentleman and one of the fairest people i ever met.
God Bless you all!
