The Karpolas were our neighbors for years, and they were wonderful friends of ours. We miss the ones that are in Heaven, and miss that none of them live close by like they used to.

Gloria and Girls,
Please accept our Deepest Sympathy. Rich was very much a part of our family. You girls were our "adopted" daughters. There are so many happy memories that are still in our hearts today. Sorry we are not able to be with you all today but you are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless You All.
Love,
Kathy Fox

Dear Linda, Karen, Tracy and Jill,
I wish that I can ease the pain in which you are feeling. I wish that I could say it would get better soon. I wish I could dry your tears and make it easier, these next few days. If there is a bright side to any of this is that the pain does lessen, and the memories all turn to happy ones. Time is the only thing that does help. In the mean time if I can do anything if you want to talk or need a shoulder I am there for you "girlfriends". May you have the comfort of each other during these difficult days and times. Much love, Kathy and Jim

Dear Linda, Karen, Tracy and Jill, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I can honestly say that time helps. You will never forget him or the lovely memories that you all have of him. May they hold you over to the grief lessons. You know if there is anything I can do for any of you I will be happy to.
With deepest condolences,
Kathy and Jim
