Our deepest sympathy to your family at this time. Your parents were very special people and Mom and Dad were so glad to have them for friends and fellow church members. I remember so well and have on video when they came to our parents 65th wedding anniversary at the Senior Center in Horatio. Our love and prayers go out to you at this time.
