Annette, just read of your Dads passing and i wanted to send you my prayers. My gosh, it was just yesterday we were having fun at the I & M (was that the name?) Christmas party. I remember your Dad coming to our house sometimes for lunch with my Dad when they were working together. My Mom will be 91 this year. She is in a very nice care center but I know how she longs to return home to Dad and my Brothers, but she will probably outlive me. Hope all is well with you. I miss seeing you on occasion. Probably no more class reunions Huh. Take care. I hope to see you sometime soon.

We were saddened to hear of Uncle Ike's passing. He and Mildred were present at our wedding, he helped me understand the genealogy of the family, and I loved to hear him share his own memories. Our hearts go out to you Brent and Linda, Annette and Melvin, and to you Mary. Your father was a valiant individual.

It was a pleasure meeting and caring for Ike at the VA Hospital. He was always in such great spirits and full of life. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Ike was a good friend and valued employee at Talon Printing for a number of years later in his life. What a fun guy to have around. I used to trade books with him as we both loved Church and history books. A great man who will be missed.

Dear Family,

JaNell and I would like to express our sympathy and love to you at the passing of your Father. Orr was a dear friend to our family and us. We worked close together in several callings in the Church and he was always so helpful. Sorry we will not be able to attend the funeral but we are serving our mission in Malaysia. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love,
