Marian,
Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your husband. You were a very special person to me when I worked for you at United Memorial as a high school senior in 1957-8. God's blessings to you.

Marian, Our love and prayers are with you. Porter and you have been so important in our family. All of us are thankful for the many family celebrations that we have had over the years. We will miss Porter very much, but his laugh, humor, and hearty appetite will remain in our memories. His smile, stories, and beautiful wood carvings are part of our family. As is your whipped cream.
Love,

Hi Marian, So sorry of your loss. You have so many memories and had such a wonderful relationship together. We were fortunate to have been neighbors with you for years. Then to have stayed in touch through the years has meant a great deal to all of us. You were always there when there was a need it gave us such joy to see both you and Porter. Just know that we are thinking of you at this time. Love, Claribelle, Larry, Debrah & Barbara
