To Don and Becky, Arnie, Ronnie and Patsy, Mike and Linda, and all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren:
I am so sorry I did not make it to the service. Aunt Kat said it was beautiful. (I have my family visiting with me this week). I have been thinking of you the past few days and remembering all the good times at your house when we were all growing up; especially hiding Easter eggs in the hedges. I'll also never forget growing up eating lots of good Jamison's livermush--wish I had some right now! Uncle Reese and Aunt Helen were always so nice to me and I will miss them. The obituary is so well written, and sweet; fitting for a very special man.
All my love,
Linda

My deepest sympathy to all of you. Mr.(and Mrs.)Jamison were loved and highly respected by my late husband, Ralph, and me. Ralph always said that they were two of the finest people he had ever met. I am thinking of all of you and remembering many good times that Ralph and I spent with you. I grieve with you today.
