Time cannot steal the treasures that we carry in our hearts, Nor ever dim the shining thoughts our cherished past imparts.

Our thought & prayers are with you, even though we are not.



The few times I met your father, Mary, he eminated kindness, friendship, & an obvious love of life & family. We were all blessed to have known him. May he be at peace in the presence of God.



Love, Marilyn & Charlie
