My thoughts and prayers are with you Aunt Joan and your family. I have great memories of my summer visist(1970) when you were building the swimming pool in the backyard and I helped mix cement with Uncle Bob. Enjoyed meeting my northern "cousins" and their friends you thought I had a southern accent? Glad we had recent visits for Linda's wedding and when you traveled to Florida and stopped in Gainesville. Uncle Bob was a terrific man and will be greatly missed. Love from your sister Louise's family.

Thank you Lord that You will make known to us the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Lynda, may the joy of the Lord be your strength as you carry on through these days remembering your father. I will always remember when my mother died in 2004 and after immediate family I called you. It was then I had peace and could carry on. Blessings and love, Elaine and Dan
