Dave, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. It was wonderful seeing you and Betty at Cindy and Bob's - - - I just wish I could have stayed in Wisconsin a few days longer to give you my condolences in person. I'll be thinking of you.

Dear Lois & Family,

I am so sad to hear of Lloyd's death. He was such a kind person and was like a father to me. He had such a heart for Christ and shared the Good News of the Gospel with many. He was a proud Marine who served our country, how fitting that God called him home on Veteran's Day. Semper Fi! I am blessed to have known Lloyd, he will be missed by many. I also rejoice in the fact that he is with Jesus now, out of pain, and celebrating his new eternal life in heaven.
My prayers are with Lois and the family. Love,

Dear Dave and Family,

My sincere condolences on the loss of your Dad (and Grandfather). I have fond memories of him out in "our" field (City parking lot), practicing pitching skills with you....You had a mean side-arm! He was a good, kind man. Belatedly, I was so sorry to hear of your Brother, Dale's passing. Hang in there, childhood Friend. You've had a rough row of late. Will keep you and your family in my prayers. Melanie (Hondel) Bryde, Vermillion, SD
