David---my good friend
It is remarkable that your father will reside in Mount Vernon Cemetary. Your connection is there for eternity.
You and Carol your warm, caring and fully loyal sister share common grief in your own special way. You possess similar attributes which characterize good, open and honest folks who can be counted on to be there first to treat the needs of others.
I did not know your father but if you reflect his character he would be a man I would wanted to know.
God Bless you and your family. May you safely return home.
Peace
Jack and Janet

Margaret,
Greg and I moved to Juniper Lane with our twins 5 years ago and you were kind enough to bring us a welcoming loaf of bread, hot from your oven. We have watched you and Hunter taking delight in caring for your yard and marveled at Hunter's strength and energy.
We will miss his neighborly waves of hello that we have come to expect while he was hard at work tending to his flowers.
We are so sorry for your loss, Margaret.
