Dear Family of Margie and Mike,

We are thinking of you during this sad time. We loved your parents for many reasons.

We will never forget that for more than twenty five years they arranged and placed beautiful flowers in First Presbyterian Church for the Christmas Eve service in memory of our Jamie, a senior in high school who was killed in an auto accident in 1976.

We still miss them at First Church; they left a big gap in our congregation.

With our love and deepest sympathy,
