Dear Mom, Words can't express the sadness in my heart, I know that the Lord doesn't give us any more than we can handle, so rest in Him. We still have each other and we will get through this. Dad may be gone for now but it's not forever and someday we will be with Dad and Tony again. Much Love, Kim

Alice and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. You have all been in my thoughts and prayers since I learned of Tony's passing and will continue. There's no place like "home" and being part of everyone's past makes you always feel a kinship. Take care.

Alice and Family,
We were so saddened to hear of Bob's passing. I remember all the times we spent at your home when we were younger. I used to see Bob riding his bike all the time in the summer, and always had a smile and a hello-how are you. He was a wonderful person and will be deeply missed. May God hold you in his arms and help you through this rough time.
