Dear Curt,
I was sad to see your dad died. I'm sure it is hard. My dad is still on the farm; he'll be 85 in April. Mom has been gone almost 11 years. Please know you've been in my thoughts and prayers. It's difficult to accept that "we" are the old folks now! Take care and may God give you Strength and Faithfulness always.
Sincerely,
Rita (Hughes) Buehler
Curt & Doug,
Sorry to hear about your Dad's death. It was always a fond memory going to your house when we where growing up. Take care
I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Roger's passing. I am a daughter of Virginia, his sister. I have many happy memories of times spent at his home, watching cats and birds, catching toads in the backyard, and the most delicious homemade ice cream. He had a wonderful smile and sense of humor. His kind and loving heart is something I will always treasure. I will miss him very much.
Dear Aunt Florence,
So sorry for your loss,I know how happy you were and that the two of you created a lot of good memories.
Stay in touch and try not to overdo,I know you had a close call yourself not too long ago.Lots of hugs and kisses,
Your nephew,
Michael
