Dear Chase,

This is a moment for you when all the emotions have united at one time. We realize how much your grandfather cared about you and our heartfelt sentiments are extended to a young man whom we know grandpa is saying, “Couldn't have turned out any better.”

You are the man of the house now and a very mature one. We admire you and know that you will carry the torch that your grandpa passed to you. Our deepest regret for the loss of your grandfather.

Love always,

May 30, 2012

Dear Virginia,

Our most sincere condolences for your loss. Mr. Forehand was very kind to us and we will always have fond memories of him. We remember his warm welcomes as we approached your home.

May you cherish in your heart the memories of a long life shared with him. Deep in his heart he knew he married a woman of strong character and values who was there for him and his dear grandson.

Love always,

Larry, Ellie

Life occasionally affords you special friends. Ron was one of mine. We told tall tales, argued politics, celebrated special occasions, shared happy and sad events, and laughed a great deal while sharing a good cigar. I feel I am a better person for having known Ron, and both Donna and I shall miss him greatly. May his family find love and comfort in their memories, I know I shall.
