Dear Lance,

The Andersons in Ayer just heard of your beloved Dad's passing. The times we were able to spend with him will forever be a treasure in our memory book. It should give you some peace to know that he couldn't have asked for a better son.

Love,

Christine

Lance & Family, I just read of your father's passing and am so very sorry for your loss. Your father was always very kind to me and my family and I feel blessed to have known him. May the precious memories you carry help you find peace at this difficult time.

To the Family

I am so very sorry to hear of your deep loss. I met Mr.Christmas when I was 19 but the memory I will always carry with me comes at 40 and seeing him at his brother's birthday party with all his siblings. I was honored to be included in such a moment and see so much love among siblings. Thank you for that moment. Your family will always be in my heart and my prayers will be with you. My brothers now have someone to share fashion tips with, and that makes me smile. God bless you and keep you always.
