Dear Linda and family, I’m sorry I cannot come to Luther’s service tomorrow. It is just too far from where I am living now. I just wish I could have talked to him before his stroke. My thoughts and prayers are with you (especially at 11 am tomorrow). I loved my brother so much. I know he’s happy now, in heaven, with Lucille, Fred, and our parents. He’s the kindest person I’ve ever known. Reva Worley Merryfield
I am sorry to hear of Luther’s passing. I think of him with fond memories. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
