Mike, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad’s passing. He was a sweet man and I enjoyed the times I’d talked to him. I know how much you and Rhonda loved him and all good care you both gave your Father. Our prayers are with you all in this time of sorrow. Your friends Always, Sharon ‘n Larry 298-5596
Dear Family,
I was very sorry to hear of Fred
passing. I was in Florida at the time.
My step-father, Roy died April 24,05
and I was with my mother Betty Ann.
I enjoyed the time I spent on the phone with him before he got so ill.
I appreciated his kindness and his
helping with the family illnesses on the Davis side of my family.
Should any of you not know who I am,
I am Grover;s daughter Lynda. I am now 57 years old and have a son and a daughter and six grandchildren. I
guess the last time I saw any of you would have been in 1968, before I went in the United States Air Force.
I am disabled now, but God is still good to me. If anyone reads this, please give Aunt Margaret and Aunt Ludean my love, and if Richard or Aunt Johnnie would contact me, I would appreciate it.
