To Stephanie and Family! I am so very sorry for the loss of your mom. I do remember her always giving us tips on bowling as young children in the bowling leagues at Piketon Lanes. She would expect us to take heed on those tips too and roll them down the alley, and not out the door. I pray for all of your strength and that God will heal your hearts totally.

Love Nettie

Mom, I am going to miss you a great deal. Thank you for you love, your friendship, and your acceptance. It has truly been a great honor and privledge to be your son-in-law and a part of your family. I appreciate you listening to me while I told you about my bowling accomplishments both good and bad. I love you like you were my own birth mother. Through your faith, your strength and your courage, I have learned what it means to be faithful, strong, and brave in Christ Jesus. You and Whitney were my inspirations to take those steps and become baptized in the name of Jesus at Apostolic Holy Temple. Thank you and praise God. I am grateful for knowing and loving you mom. You will always be remembered, missed, and loved by your son-in-law.
