To the family of Uncle Bub;
We were so happy we were able to see Uncle Bub one last time in September at Aunt Dorthy's funeral. You will miss him we know but remember he and your mom are together again; also all of his siblings are there to welcome him home. Our heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Most sincerely, Mike & Carol(Cobb) Coy, Linda(Cobb)Barlow & Gary

Dear Alan's kids,
Your dad was a great guy! He and my father, John Wood, were pals and hung out together. I am so happy that all of you were able to be there for him. He spoke well of all his children. My father was so pleased that Alan took the time to make sure he had a ride to Salinas. Your family has been so kind to my father, I feel like we are family too. When Daddy was thinking of moving out of the trailer park, I insisted he stay because he had such good friends there. I sure am happy he paid attention to what I said. Give Oscar a pat for me.
