Dear Kevin and Craig:

I was so sorry to hear about Uncle John's passing. I know what he meant to you both and to your families. I can still recall him calling to see if we were ok after Dad died last year, which exemplified the kind of caring person he was. We will all miss him and Aunt Pearl, Charles and I are all here for you and will keep you in our prayers.

Craig, Kevin & Families:

I am late in reading the notices today and just stumbled upon your father's notice. First thing that came to mind was the vision of your parents on the front porch. I noticed that my sister had a similar recollection, as well.

My heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved parents. I hope that your strength as a family brings solace to you during this most difficult time.

Craig and family, I was so sad to hear of your dad's passing.

I still always look at the first floor porch when I pass by, expecting to see your mom and him sitting out there as soon as the good weather dawns, as they did for some many years, delighting in watching their grandchildren grow.

Now they are together again. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May your many memories of your wonderful dad bring comfort to you in the days ahead.
