I am a friend of Dwight/Michelle. Dwight, I am so sorry I cannot attend the memorial service and be there for you, as you were for me when Dean died. I will never forget you at the graveside, when I looked up and saw you standing there, with tears in your eyes, for my loss. You will always have a special place in my heart.!
I will be thinking of you, with prayers for your peace.!!

Beulah had and always will have a very special place in my heart. So many distinct memories. She was one of the first people I became close too, when I came to live in the US ...I was an almost backyard neigbor of Beulah and Joe. ( hearing Dwight play). Beulah was very loving, kind, funny, principled, firm ...She always did her very best and expected it of others. Beulah is in heaven and I expect some changes soon. Years ago, Joe looked at me in mock puzzlement and said ..."do you think God checked this with Beulah?" ...I feel so blessed that Beulah was part of my live. So many happy and sad emotions for the family... Sending everyone my love.
