Dearest Marge, Kitty and Cindy: I extend my sincere sympathy to you and to your extended families. I know any loss is hard to take regardless of circumstances and I feel certain He has found a heavenly home that is much better than the earthly life. Hope you have (had) a safe trip to Ft. Wayne. Kathleen sent me a note about his passing. I unfortunately have lost her email address, mailing address and found out in the Fort Wayne online newspaper that there is a different last name. God's blessing to all of you and my Mother sends her sympathy also.



Respectfully and with great fondness of all of you.
