Dear Beth and family,
I'm so sorry to hear of the great loss of your father, Beth. I remember so well his outgoing and cheerful personality whenever I was over at your house there in Edgebrook. Interestingly, my mother-in-law commented on how nice he was to her whenever she encountered him in the halls or elevator at Mission Hills. His ability to show kindness and engage strangers in conversation revealed that he had a daughter who knew me and my mother-in-law therefore felt a special tie to him as well.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family members. I pray God will comfort you and bring to mind the many good memories of your loving father.
Love,
Ginnie Elmer

Love,

Dear Hebert Family,
Your Dad always made me feel welcome in your home, and I always looked forward to my frequent visits over there. I have many pleasant memories of his great sense of humor, and a laugh that I can still hear to this day. Most important though, is the fact that he lived life to the fullest and had a deep respect for others. He always valued the thoughts and opinions of young people also.
My sincere condolences,
