We always looked forward to
seeing Mr. Baldwin on our way
home—–He was usually doing
something interesting or some-
times just sitting on the porch waving to all the folks
passing by. We noticed before
we moved that he was not out
and about as usual—-
Sincere condolances to all
of you.
Tony,
Jessica and I are praying for you and your family. May God’s grace and peace bring you comfort at this time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
With our deepest sympathy.
Tony and Angela,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Give all your children my love.
Tony: Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of grief. If there is anything we can do, let us know. God closes doors, but He always leaves a window open.
We will miss the white truck that we passed on Mills Gap each week; we will miss seeing him on that front porch; and Tony, I will always remember what he meant to me, as a high school kid sitting in your kitchen those many nights. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Dear Rosa Lee, Tony, Jan and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sadness. My God bless you and keep you and give you comfort, Praise God for Bill’s wonderful life.
Always
