To grandpa AND Grandma:
I miss you both very much, after all these years of being the oldest grandchild in your family, I feel that I knew you somewhat more than others, only due to age. Thank you for all the fond memories and great times(and to grandma all the free legal advice) You will always be with me in my heart and I will NEVER forget either of you, save a place for me, and keep an eye on Andrew, Aedra, and the new baby for me, and make sure Kendra gets thru this pregnancy with no hitches. I love and miss you both!

With Love and admiration always,
Your Grandson Aaron

To The Tallon Family-
Deepest Sympathy in the loss of your father. I was a '5l Classmate of Beth and enjoyed visiting with Bob at the Class reunions in Burwell.

Shelly and family - Was saddened to read of the passing of your father. I have wonderful memories of him... especially during our years of softball. I loved having him for a coach! Treasure your memories and know that he and your mom are together again. May you feel the love of God and your friends as you go through this difficult time.
