Dear Cathleen & Darleen,
I never met your dad, but I care because you were wonderful childhood friends to me (Thank you Richard & Doris!). I did get to meet Carla once - she was very sweet to me. I hope you two, and your mom have many treasured memories of both of them - to draw on to ease the pain & to keep them close to you.

I hope I get to see you again some day: If you hear of a high school reunion, clue me in, please.

God Bless,
Bev

Dear Doris and Family, I am deeply saddened by the loss of your beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, Father-in-law and devoted friend to so many. I have always considered myself as one of his friends thru the last 45 years and so enjoyed the last phone visit I had with him and Doris! May God wrap his arms around each of you and comfort you knowing that he is HOME at last and no more suffering....You are all in my thoughts and prayers, Jody Owens
