Dear Cousins - I pray that you have been comforted well. I still remember how blessed my mom was when your mom and dad came to her 40th anniversary party. Good memories, good blessings.
Love, Martha

My deepest sympathies to the family. I feel so very fortunate to have known Dee. I remember her wonderful, dry sense of humor and the warmth she showed to everyone. I am so sorry that I didn't get to see her more often. Perhaps we should have held the family reunion in Richmond.

Dear Kay Family Members -
I offer my sincere condolences on the loss of your family member. I don’t know any of you but, as a youngster, Bob was my dentist and only a few years ago I worked with both Bob and Connie on a “brochure” for a family reunion. Both Bob and Connie gave so much to the community over the years. It is people like them that make a this community a great place to live.

Bruce......My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your entire family on the loss of your Mom. I was also sorry to read about your Dad's passing nearly three years ago. I remember your folks well and just how supportive they always were in whatever you kids chose to do. They were two wonderful individuals who I always admired and respected.
Without a doubt, your folks are together again and in a better place now with God. Our prayers are with you.

Bruce and Family,
I am very sorry to hear about your mothers passing. She was a good lady, and always nice to everyone. I miss the times we used to spend at your house playing whiffel ball and just hanging around! It's been a long time since we've talked but I still consider us friends, and you have my deepset sympathy for your loss!

She is with God now, looking down and watching over you!
