Carolyn, Billy, Kathy and Adrian:
I am so sorry for your loss. We appreciated your compassion to us as we also suffered a great loss last week.
I sent at note by mail to Taylor House, so they will be forwarding it to you.
It was such a priviledge to meet your father and the family during our stay with our dad at Taylor House, just across the hall from you.
You are still in our prayers, Stephany

To each of you I send my sincerest condolences.
Having known Freddie and Donnie and Willy and Mary since I was five years old I feel a real connection with your family. I still think of Mary every December 29th and will always remember each of you.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Cousins,
I'm sorry to hear of Uncle Fred's death. I'm on a trip and unable to make it back in time for his funeral, but please know Deana and I will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
I remember he planted clematis in his back yard. Because of his delight in the flowers, we decided to plant them in our yard, too. Every time I see them, I think of him.
Love,
Wayne

Carolyn, Billy, Kathy and Adrian,
I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Fred. It pains me that I don't live closer so I could have been there. As we live our daily life the years seem to zip by and we don't think about times like this and when they happen we regret not letting people know how much we love and care about them. Know that I think of you all often and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I will continue to pray that God will comfort you during this time.
Love, Cali
