Dear Sharon and Family,
I am so saddened to hear about the loss of Drew. As his colleague at Keystone, we spent many hours working closely together. I was priviledged to hear his many stories of his loving family and friends. He was so proud of his children and so excited to be a grandfather. He loved to laugh and was a caring gentleman.
Even after he left Keystone, he kept in touch with me and spoke about his love for volunteering in Philly. I will miss him. I pray that you find peace in knowing that he left his special footprint so that we all will have many fond memories.

Dear Sharon,
I was so very sorry to learn of the passing of your husband,Drew.
It has been many years since our paths have crossed, however,
I fondly remember the times you spent with my sister Renee.
It seems at times of loss and sadness time can be a measure of good memories and healing. I offer my sincere sympathy to you and your family, hoping that the comfort of your friends, their prayers and the passage of time help to ease your loss and bring you strength and peace.

I've known Mr. Loder almost since I was born, and I remember him as a dynamic, genuine, outgoing person. Spending time at the Loders' house was always a joy when Kelley and I were young, and Mr. Loder often was cracking jokes or doing something silly around us kids. He was a wonderful man and father, and his life will certainly be celebrated (as it should be!). Mrs. Loder, Art, Bonnie, Kelley--Andrew and I are thinking of you all.
Love,
Jacqui
