Bonnie,

My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. I just lost my father a couple of months ago, so I understand the trials that lay in front of you. May your road eventually lead you to peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Herschel, Vickie, Cody and Austin,



We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We had never met Wayne, but are sure he was a great person judging by his great family. We know how hard it is now and hope that in time it will be much easier for you to cope. Love you guys and if we can do anything just let us know.

Betty, Hershel & Bonnie, I was addened to hear about Wayne's passing. I'll always remember how funny he was at the grain elevator with his stories and joking around. He'll be missed.

Dear Betty and family,

Dale and I send our condolences to the family. We can not make the visitation or funeral but know we will be thinking about you. It is so hard to lose a loved one. Gale called me last night and I sure do appreciate him doing so. When we were younger we could make the trip without even thinking but now it is a big trip and we haven't been in IL. since Aug. for Dale's birthday. Our health is pretty good for our age but don't see as well as we'd like. I'll write more in a letter. Love, Your Cousin Yvonne
