To a childhood friend....At times like this it seems that our words of sadness seem inadequate. To comfort you and your family. But as children of light, we rest in the knowledge that your husband was loved beyond measure. And you are loved by all of us who who know you both near and far away. May you remember that as everyone shares your sorrow. May your beloved husband rest in the arms of our Lord and Savior. Love, Beverly Bova Scarano

Chip and Ann have been such good boating friends, & we were thrilled when they moved to Florida after we did. We will always treasure the many memories we shared, and will never forget that wonderful twinkle in his eye. We are so happy that we were able to share a great evening together prior to this unexpected tragedy. Our deepest condolences to Annie, and the whole Culshaw family.
