My daughters and I will miss your childhood stories and silly jokes, especially "wood eye." I still remember the wonderful cinnamon rolls you made. My prayers are with your family. Laura Meisner (Franklin, TN)

We will miss our dear neighbor, Bob. We have great memories of the many stories he told about his service in WWII, his work, and his family. He had a fondness for boxing and a passion for technology, especially computers. For many years he was a major part of our daily walks to and from school. He and Katy are one of the many reasons why my children will be able to look back at their childhood and say," Wow, that was a great place to grow up!" Our prayers go out to Katy and his family. Fondly, -The Braband Family
