Sending my deepest sympathy for the loss of both your parents over the summer. I didn't know your parents well, but their legacy will live on, most especially at Rhodes State College. Their lives made an enormous impact on our community and in the individual lives of so many people! We are all grateful for them and pray that your family will be surrounded with comfort and peace as you go through this grieving process. Love to you all!

Dear Jill and Ray, I am sending my deepest condolences for the passing of your dear mother and your dear father. I am sorry I did not know your father passed away till I read your mothers obituary. They were both pillars in our community and I had great respect for them. They were so nice to everyone. My heart breaks for you at this sad time. Val Kuhn
