James: I am so sorry to hear about your Grandpa. I remember waiting on him when I worked at the bank. You and your family have my sympathy.
So sorry to hear about Uncle Jays passing. I have a lot of good memories of him growing up.
Velma, so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. You and your family are in my prayers. I remember your dad from working at the State with him.
I'm so sorry to hear about Jay's passing. He was a patient of mine when I worked for Reiter chiropractic. He was always such a kind, soft-spoken man and I looked forward to his visit every week. The world is a less pleasant place without him in it. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, most especially Lydia & Al.
We send our sympathy, prayers & cares to Mr. Cooks family. He was a nice man & a pleasant person to talk to. Jim & Dana Wampler (We are the couple who bought part of his land, accross the road.)
