Stacy,

I don't know if you remember me but, I remember playing together as children while our parents visited. I especially remember how funny I thought it was that we were Stacy and Tracey. And I remember that your parents were beautiful both inside and out. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. I know that your mom and dad are watching over you and even though I realize there is nothing I can say to make it any easier, I wanted you to know that I am thinking of all of you. My parents, Gail and Everett Treigle, always spoke so well of your mom and dad. I am so sorry for your pain. Love, Tracey

Vic and Jeannette,

Please accept my heart sent condolences on the loss of your Dad. Vic, I never met your father and I only knew him through your stories.However, I feel pretty confident assuming that your father was a wonderful individual capable of some pretty spectacular accomplishments mainly because I know YOU. You and your family are in my thoughts and I will pray for you at this difficult time. I hope you take comfort in knowing that your Dad is in the arms of the angels. I love and miss you, Sherry.
