My condolences to Brenda (Brian) and Don (Heather), grandchildren and Ms. Ellenwood. I will forever treasure the memories that we shared with Laura, Everett and your family. They were beloved members of our family. While their stay in California we were fortunate to have befriended the Faux family. They exposed us to many adventures and down home hospitality. They invited us to share supper, made Walpa his favorite grilled cheese sandwiches and me Everett's spaghetti sauce, they supported us as we grew up and formed families of our own. May we take comfort in knowing that they are together in God's presence rejoicing together eternally.
