Dear Sister Tanner and FAmily,



I am sending you my heartfelt sympathies at the loss of your husband and father. I have been keeping up with your happenings through Sam and Judy Broadhead. They are my neighbors. Sam called with your news last night and I wanted to write and tell you how sorry we are for your loss.... and our loss. Brother TAnner was such a joy and a great friend to our father, Floyd Weed. We will never forget him. He made a difference for good wherever he walked.



I am sure the reunion on the other side is joyful. The work he will do will be incredible. We are so grateful for the knowledge we have of the work and life after death. If we on earth can just endure the loss and continue doing our part someday we can all be together again.



We send our condolences and love to your wonderful family. May the Lord keep you and bless you.



Love,

Marilyn Weed-Abney

With our Love to Athelia and the family. You are great friends

Dear Athelia and Family,



What a blessing and an honor to have known and enjoyed the friendship of your beloved Bill.



We will love him forever and hope our paths will cross in the eternities.



We know how hard this must be for you and we also know your great faith and strength. You are an inspiration to us.



Terry's comment has been "I believe his (Bill's) calling and election has been made sure."



Love, LaVelle and Terry



PS We so enjoyed having you in our home and remember the blessing that Bill left for us.
