Dear Mrs. Speers, Craig, Kim and family, Our family have shared many memories together, birthdays, holidays, baseball games in the summer and our recent bowling outing this past Christmas. We have always enjoyed those times and will cherish them forever. Please know that we are praying for each of you. Hap lived a wonderful life and we were truly blessed to have been included in his. All our love, The Cote's

Mrs. Speers, Theresa, Craig, Kim, Brendan and Brian, I am so sorry that your Dad and Granddad has passed away. I have always enjoyed the celebrations where we all got to spend time together through the years and as recently as last summer at Brian's football game. Mr. Speers always made time to chat with the kids and I and I always walked away feeling genuinely loved and cared about. He was a great man who will be missed. Stay close and stick together. See each of you soon.
