Miranda, Sorry to hear about grandad. He will be happy with his 2 best friends now. Hope you are okay. I know you will miss him.
Dearest Lynne – We here in Lakeland know what a difficult time this is for you. Please know and believe that every one of your many friends, students and former students send you hugs and kisses, and love you very much. Your father had to be special to have raised such a wonderful daughter that gives so much to all around her. From one of your many friends. Libbie Foster
Lynne, I cannot tell you how sad I, and my entire family are for you. Your Dad was very special to you and will always live in your heart. Please take comfort in your wonderful family, and caring friends, and know how much they all love you.
We are so sorry for your loss. Best wishes from Kim and Ev.
Lynne and family,
Words cannot express our sorrow. Remember the good times with your father and take comfort in the fact that your friends are thinking of you.
My sincere sympathy to Cecil’s family! What a dear sweet man! He taught me to play racquetball when he was in his early 80’s – so young at heart! I’m still playing the game he loved so much and think of him often!
Lynne,
I know it is hard to lose a father. Remember all the good moments with him and know that my family and I have you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love you
Lynne, you have our deepest sympathies and condolences. Know that our thoughts are with you in this time of loss.
Lynn, Although I do not know you or Quentin, I want you to know how I have enjoyed seeing his smile on the obituary page. I am signed up to recieve daily obituary postings, so I have seen this charming smile for several days now. He must have been a wonderful person, and I bet he had a wicked sense of FUN! I know he must have been a blessing to all his friends and family. God bless you all.
