DEAR GRANNY,

SELFISHLY I WISH YOU WERE HERE WITH US. BUT, I KNOW YOU ARE IN A GOOD PLACE AND WITH DADDY ROY AGAIN. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU BOTH AGAIN. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR ALL OF US. THOSE MEMORIES ARE PRICELESS. WHO ELSE COULD LIGHT UP A PACK OF BOTTLE ROCKETS AND ALMOST BURN A HOUSE DOWN AND LIVE TO TELL ABOUT IT. DADDY ROY LAUGHED AND HELPED ME GET THE SMOKE OUT OF HOUSE. I REMEBER YOU PULLING UP AND THEN WE NEGOTIATED THE INCIDENT OVER ICE CREAM. AWESOME. I MISS SEEING YOU AND SITTING ON THE PICNIC TABLE OUTSIDE JUST LOOKING UP AT THE TREES. YOU BOTH WERE THE BEST. I'LL SEE THE TWO OF YOU AGAIN AND WILL MAKE SOME SANKA COFFEE FOR DADDY ROY AND FOLGER'S DECAF FOR YOU. THE SIMPLE THINGS ARE DEFINITELY THE BEST.
LOVE YOU BOTH,
TONY

Linda & Fred,
We just heard of your mother's passing. Our prayers & sympathy to all the family. We're certain she was a very kind and loving person - just like you, Linda. Take care & know that God loves you all.

Dear Debbie and family,
I am so sorry to hear about "Granny."
I know I do not have to tell any of you what a special lady she was. I really loved her. She was so sweet and nice, to me, each time a saw and visited with her. Remember the good times (and I know there are many).

My deepest sympathy to all of you.
