Dear Mrs. Sawyer,
We were so saddened to hear about your husband passing. We, however, offered up thanksgiving to God for a soul that lived a good life for his Lord and knew the promise of eternal salvation. We, also, praised God for his watch care over you in the car that day. Our prayers are with you and the entire Sawyer family.

Dear Aunt Jean, Judy and Terry, I cannot tell you how sad I was to hear of Uncle Frank's passing. He was the one who always took care of everyone else. I remember him so clearly the night that my father stepped into eternity -- you and Uncle Frank being there to hold us all up. I heard that the funeral was a real celebration of Uncle Frank and that the gospel was presented. I'm sure he was rejoicing. I wish so much that I could have been there. You all are in my thoughts and prayers and I will be in touch. I know I don't have to tell you that he was a wonderful man and a terrific uncle. I have many wonderful memories of Uncle Frank. Love to you all. Vicki
