Dear John and Denise,

You know how much I loved your Mother and Father. I am saddened with her loss, but gladdened that she is at peace with Lyle. You were both blessed with such loving parents ~ much like my family! I am not looking forward to walking in your shoes. Please know my kindest thoughts and prayers are with you and your families!



Love to you both! Diana

Denise & John,

My sincere thoughts are with you in the loss of you Mother. I have many wonderful memories of both your Mom and Dad when they lived next door to my brother Ted. The years hold memories of many laughs and good times and now is the time to remember those. My kids all remember your Mother's gentleness and they remember your Dad's really amusing vocabulary.

Love to you both,

Louise Spear
