Dear Sue, Chris and family,



Our deepest sympathy my dear, dear friend. Anytime you need a shoulder, I'm available. You and your family are so special to me.



I will always remember your father fondly. My special memory of him is when I went to church with you and Chris after your Mom died and your Dad was dating Ruth. Do you remember? All his friends in church thought I was the woman he was dating and your poor Dad was so embarrassed! It is a fond memory for me of your Dad and you dear friend.



Please know that I'll remember you in prayer. God bless and take care of you.



Love,

Dee and Chuck Wagner
