Our Dear Maryann and family, it is with great fondness I remember J.B. He took sincere interest in getting to know me, and the twinkle in his eyes showed us he was always ready to share humor that could be found in any situation. I am glad I got to know him and be a guest in your home and lives. My thoughts are with you now and in the times to come. Randy Sievers

Dear Scott & Grant...just a note to let you know I am thinking of both of you. Dick & I had lots of fun with your parents thru the years. As you know, we were very close friends. Dick died almost three years ago. I wish I could come to the service, but it won't be possible. I would like to see both of you. Take care, and I wish the best for you and your families. Love, Tammie
