Mrs. Massie,
I am deeply saddened at hearing of Mr, Massie's passing. I was just informed today. I wish I had heard earlier. My boys were saddened to hear that they will not be waving to Mr. Massie as he runs by our home everyday He was a wonderful man, I enjoyed my visits with him outside in the summertime. Please accept our condolences. So sorry for your loss.

Anne, I am so sorry for your loss. Though my memories are from long ago vacationing in Puerto Rico, they are still vivid of you and Adrian. The passing of my own father has shown me that the truly great ones never stay as long as we would like - God has other plans for them.

I cannot express words at the loss of Adrian. I will miss him tremendously. I will always recall how he and Dad used to egg each other on with stories when we got together. All our love.
