Sandy and Debbie,
So sorry to hear of your dad passing. It is always hard to say good bye to loved ones but really hard when it is a Father or Mother. May god be with you and all your family during this trying time and if we can help you in any way, please do not hesitate to call on me.
Praying for you,
Harvey and Becky

Dear Mildred and Family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of Mr. "Bunny" from my child hood at Shiloh Church in Catawba. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mrs. Giles and family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of this kind man. I worked at the downtown Heironimus store and had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Giles. He was very proud of his family--I know he has left you with wonderful memories.
God Bless You.
