Dear Nancy & family,

It is noon Monday and I'm thinking about you all as I know services are beginning for Claude. I'm thinking about the last time I received e-mails from Claude - it was after my surgery and he was encouraging me, cheering me up and telling me what to do and what not to do. I really appreciated hearing from him especially since he was having problems also. He was a good husband, father and friend. He will be missed.

Love, Lois Cooley
