Chris and Family:

Years go by, lives change, people come in and out of our lives so quickly sometimes. Just know, that I think of you often, and will never forget playing cards, wagon rides, and what an example you were to me in so many ways. I am sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I would love a call if you ever have a moment. 801-548-1615, Gail Nudell-Jones.

Dear Chris and kids,

I hoped this wasn't who I thought when I seen the headline. I offer my sincere sympathy and condolonces to you all. I lost the love of my life two years ago and am still struggling to get through. Gail and I talk about the old times we all had together when the kids were little. The love and strength of your family will help you through so much. You helped me so much transporting my kids to elementary school while I worked and I am still grateful for your help back then. I am in the phone book if you ever get up this way.

Love, from your old neighbor in Vernon
