My sympathy goes out to the DeVaux family. I am sorry that I will not be able to attend the funeral. I did not know your husband or father but I am related to all of you. My grandfather was Richard Raymond Arnold. I know that the member of the Arnold Families was very good and gentle people.

Take care and God Bless All of You. My prayers are with all of you at this time.

Love, Carol Ann Keitzer
