Hey Grandpa,
Do you have email there? We are all missing you very much. Have you met my mom and dad yet? My mom plays a mean game of "Canasta". Try to beat her. Teach them to play "Set Back". Dad may offer you a beer, try it! Tell them I miss them too. I love you all. Kisses,
Susie....(please give Sammy a hug)##imported-begin##Susie Draft##imported-end##

Dear Wilma,
We were very saddened to learn of Howard's death but it gave me cause to be thankful for the memories I accumulated in a relatively short period of time, being even more thankful for being a part of your & Howard's circle of friends. Meeting at our house or at yours or at local restaurants for food & conversation is a legacy we will always remember for "memories don't go anywhere unless you let them." We look forward to seeing you again upon our return to Spring Lake at the end of April.
Sincerely,
John Atkins##imported-begin##John & Pat Atkins##imported-end##

We express deepest sympathy to you, Wilma, and the entire family. You and Howard have always been so supportive of our family in so many ways: piano lessons to four kids, singing in the choirs at CCC and anywhere that I would ask you.....We thank you very much for many years of friendship.

Dear Roger and family,
We were neighbors when we were very young. I still have photos of the two of us playing together. I remember your dad with fondness and am so sorry to hear of his death. My thoughts are with you.
