Mrs.Stone & Duffie,

My deepest sympathy went out to you and your extended family today when I read Mr. Stone's obituary in the paper. I guess you remember me--we graduated from Coastal Academy together and I have fond memories of your parents being strong supporters of our class. Please know my thoughts and prayers will be with you both in the coming days.

Sincerely, Meg

My deepest condolences to Eula, Duffy and family for the loss of their loved one. Ike had special meaning in my early boyhood where his demeanor and character made a lasting impression. He was a close friend of my deceased father and there was an everpresent mutual respect between them. He leaves me with vivid memories of good times and happy moments which I will cherish forever. Ike will be sorely missed by all who knew him. God bless his family in their time of grief.
