not make it to funeral, but we will try. I know you have much family
to help you. We will be here when they have had to go back to their homes.
Come and See us or call if you need something that we can help with. I go

you and your girls--and grandkids. We all are so sorry. Mom feels sad for you-she has been there and it isnt easy.

Our deepest sympathies. We will include you in our prayers. We are sorry that we will be unable to attend the Visitation or Funeral, but we are currently out of state. I worked at Station 8 when Rich was stationed there, but I was on the 3rd & 1st shifts.
