To all of the Link and White families.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, unheard, but always near
Still loved, still missed, and very dear.

Craig, Rhonda, the entire White Family,
I was very sorry to hear about your mother. I pray that all the little things that she did, touched, loved, and her smile bring you the comfort needed at this time. My prayer for you: May The Lord bless you and keep you; May the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; May the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26.

Wendy and family, I'm saddened to hear of your mom's passing. What wonderful memories we made growing up at each others houses. I will miss your mom. I remember the day your parents and I took you to college after graduation and your mom talked non-stop on the ride home. I fell asleep in the backseat and she kept talking! She never paused to take a breath for 90 minutes! When I woke up, we all had a good laugh at her stamina :) So hilarious. You all are in my heart and prayers. Love, Tara

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Marilyn.
We had the privilege of meeting her, Don, Carolyn and Jerry through bluegrass music.
Pete will never forget sitting in front of her at the Chillicothe, Ohio bluegrass festival and I kept moving around in front of her on a picnic table so she couldn't see! She reached up and slapped me on the side of the shoulder for aggravating her! She didn't realize it was me!
We have missed seeing these dear friends and our hearts are heavy right now for all of you.
