Dear Anna and Linda, Valdy and I are VERY sorry that we cannot be there next Tuesday. But you may be sure I'll be there in spirit, and watching on the internet. Rob and Frances have been dear to us practically all of our married lives, and we will never forget them! Their legacy will live on forever through you and your children, I know!! Love you! Bea and Valdy

Pa was worthy of love and respect by all, and he has ours. We know the treasures he laid up in store are many. As, for a mansion in heaven, he and ma have a great one. May the knowledge of pa's destination speed the sorrow from your hearts. With our love and prayers.

We are saddened by the passing of your dad. We only met him once but could tell that he was a fine man and a wonderful parent. Rick thought so much of him and your mom.
