Dear Dewell family:

I was a friend of Joslyn's in high school and always enjoyed going over to her house (because her dad was always so nice to us and Joslyn also had COOL houses that her dad built!) I was so sad to hear of his passing. May God comfort you in your loss.

Sincerely,

Franka (Williams) Hopwood

Dear Marilyn and Family,

Lyman was such a terrific person in every way. He was a caring husband, father, grandfather and friend. He believed in the right way to do things and helping those he could. He was always so calm and patient...something we could all hope to develop.

We will miss Lyman always but especially at our family gatherings.

We are here for you.

Love,

Marilyn and Family

How I loved that Lyman. He encouraged me and helped in my breaking into the world dominated by men (building). He was always there for me and I will never forget him.

I won't be able to attend the services but know I am there in spirit for you and family.

My love and prayers are sent to all.
