Our sympathy to you,Mrs.Wackerly and your family. I remember when we met your family in Cook's Forest. It was when one of us used the swing in front of the cabin when we were there on vacation.(I think it was me because someone else was on the swing at the apartment.) We had many good times together in the Forest and on picnics and all the visits to your house or Mom and Dad's. It was at your house that Bill learned to like Pumpkin pie. Again please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mrs. Wackerly and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Wackerly's death. I know that your faith will give you comfort and hope, Mrs. Wackerly. To the children, especially Theresa, I send my sympathy. May your lives and your care of your mother be a memorial to your Dad. I have fond memories of the times our families spent at Cook Forest, on picnics and in each other's homes. I had great respect for Mr. Wackerly and you, Mrs. Wackerly. God bless and keep each one of you.
