To the family.
Your Dad , Grandad, Husband, Brother lived a great life. He fought for his country and survived . He married and was with the same woman for 78 years. He raised a family , one daughter in particular that I know is a fine woman . He lives a great life and now has gone on to live another life – a wonderous , joyful eternity . But for you who survive him , I send my sympathy for your great loss of him.
Your sister in Christ,
Helen Riggan

Dear Agnes, Dale, Ron & Families,
Earlier this month, we were excited to send a Happy Birthday card to Delmer as he celebrated a milestone birthday – 100 years.
Then, saddened to learn of his passing.
We recall the lovely ceremony when Agnes & Delmer renewed their wedding vows.
Sending heartfelt condolences to you and your families,
Spencer and Kay Crute
