Dear Laura and Family:



I was sadden to hear of the loss of your dad. I wish that I could have been there for you. I know how close you were and how much family means to you. Just keep your eyes on the Lord and I will be praying for you in the days, weeks and months to come.

Dear Mary and Family, We are sorry we are not able to attend funeral services for Tom. Tom was a friend years ago during our dating years. Tom McManus called us yesterday to let us know Tom had died. My maiden name is Mostyn and Tom spent many evenings playing poker with my folks at 1423 Catalpa Ave. My husband Bill worked with Tom at Holabird Root & Burgee when they were both just out of school and glad to get $1.00 an hour. Sounds like you have a wonderful family to carry on and give you support.
