Dear Linda and Pat, We just got back to our house in Micco, Florida. We were gone for a few days to visit friends and family. So sorry to hear about your father and that we are not there to give you hugs. It is always very hard to lose a parent no matter what the circumstances. Love you, and know that you have many good memories.

Dear Pat and Linda,
My sister called and then sent me the obit. on your dad. Beautiful picture and many Greenville memories come flooding back! Good ol' Orange Street - huh?
Seriously though, my sincere sympathy on the death of your father. I was so glad that I could continue to see him even though the visits were few. I still remember once when Norm went with me to visit your dad and he complimented him on his haircut and your dad got the biggest smile on his face! You had a wonderful example of two people committed to a faithful Christian marriage and for that I know you are truly blessed.
May the Lord continue to be your light and your salvation.
Love
Norma

Your dad and mother were true friends to our parents, Fred and MaryEllen. They spent many wonderful hours together and still shared time with dad after mom passed away. We will remember him fondly, as we do your mother. May God give you peace in the days ahead, we know how difficult they will be.
