Dear Margaret and Phillip. Your dad and mom were great friends while Les and I lived in Havelock. I treasure the times we spent together going to eat, to the movies, to plays. Alyce and I shared the long bus ride to the Capitol and SOB to work several years, then decided it was more convenient to car pool. Many conversations, laughter and fun with Jim and Alyce. Wish I could be there today. Sending love and sympathy. Martha Gadberry (formerly Beaman).

Margaret and family:
Sorry for your loss, may God be with you and your family at this time. A little side note, Bob and Reta Studnicka are really good friends of my wife and I. Reta and Denise worked together many years ago and we have been great friends ever since. I know they will be at the service.
