To the family of Marilyn Scaff: I just now learned of Marilyn's death and was saddened at the news. I knew Marilyn from IRS since 1986 and found her to be a lovely person. I saw Marilyn last year at the luncheon of "The Old Broads" and heard at the luncheon this year(just last month) that Marilyn would not attend because she was ill. Marilyn will be missed. My prayers are with you during your time of bereavement. Remember God, the maker of heaven and earth, is the one to turn to at this time and forever. God Bless.

Dear Janet and family:

My entire family sends deepest sympathies and shares in your very sorrow now. Janet and I have been friends through many events throughout our lives: Junior High School, she had the first car in our little FHS group, (what a great Nova!!), and she was in my wedding 12/27/74, with Mark, and then we have son's in the same grade together in 2nd grade at Cline Primary, then Janet is able to offer much comfort for me and my parent's in the summer of 2002,with my Dad's diagnosis of terminal metastatic lung cancer, and Mrs Scalf is going through the same horrible process! Then Zach and Cole are in Speech class in 7th grade, just as Janet and I were in 7th grade together--amazing how the Good Lord keeps our paths so close just when we need each other the most!!!

My prayers are with the Scalf family, for you have lost both of your dear parent's and your pain will one day ease, but never leave you. God Bless you all!!!
