My last visit to Iowa was to see family in Altoona which included Lyle and Bev. I know Lyle will be missed and I can only say how loving and caring he was with my sister Christine and I, daughters of Pam Appleton and granddaughters of his sister Deloris Appleton. Truly a gem and one never to be forgotten! All of my prayers go out to Bev and family in Iowa at this time.
With Love,
-Sandra

Uncle Lyle will surely be missed and was very special to me. I can remember vividly all the birthday phone calls between us.
I am glad your children can be with you Aunt Bev during this difficult and sad time.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Pam
