    Joan & Alice: Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this time. We had so much fun with you and Kenny at the World's Largest Garage Sales at the old Sale Barn and always looked forward to having our booth set up next to yours and catching up with you how all of your family was doing.

    Jim and Paula, So sorry to hear of the death of your father. So hard to lose a dad. We didn't know him, but we know what a fine man you are, Jim. Some of the credit probably goes to your upbringing. Much love from our family to yours.

    Dear Jim and Paula, We send our heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Jim's dad. It seems that he very much enjoyed farming and a full life in general. You two, and the rest of his family, were fortunate to have him so close all your lives. He and you were also fortunate that he could be at home at the end; much better than being in a hospital. Thinking of you, Juergen and Meredith

    Suzie, so sorry to see of the passing of your Dad. While I am sure you will miss him I know you have a measure of relief that he is now at rest, enjoying his new body in surroundings we are all still striving for. May you feel God's comfort and grace at this time of loss.
