Dear Aunt Rose: You and Uncle "Richard" were in my thoughts so greatly these past few weeks more than usual it seemed. Some how, I knew without knowing that he had passed. May you find peace in knowing he is in God's hands and also being welcomed by many close friends including my mom and dad. He'll never be sad with friends like that to light the way. May God comfort you, the children and all of your extended family through this time of transition. He will be missed. We love you, George and Charla

Rose, David, Billy and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know that this is such a difficult time. I can see Bill and my dad, Jim right now, slapping hands and saying "what's up?" and then my husband Terry, walking up saying.... "don't I know you?" In heaven they are all having a beer.... or Jack Daniels and catching up on old times. Rose, hopefully you can get away this summer or sometime and come out and visit mom and us. You are all in our prayers....

Mrs. Faucette and family please except my deepest sympathy. I am so sorry to hear of Mr. faucette passing. I can remember when Mrs.Faucette taught at 4 school and there was a play at the school Mr. faucette was our best critic, he would let the students know that they would need to speak up or slow down giving their lines. He will be missed.
