May the Father of tender-mercies, the God of all comfort, console the family and friends in your time of deep sorry. Your dearly beloved one will not be forgotten by you or our Heavenly Father, Jehovah.- John 5: 28 & 29, Psalms 37:11.

Jennifer - I was very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. My memory isn't great, but I do have some very vivid memories of sleep-overs at your house and they were never dull!! I think of you often and would love to reconnect with you sometime. Let me know where you are these days and what you are up to. (mdykst2@hallmark.com)
My sympathies to your family.

Jack and I are so sorry to hear about Randy's passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Dick, thank you so much for keeping us informed of Randy.He and Jack visited on the phone occasionally, since we weren't able to get together. Reliving their young experiences over again. Laughing and thinking that the time has gone way too fast for us to suddenly be considered the older generation. Hope you all are well. We are glad for the memories! Jack and Merry Newton
