Dearest Merita, I am so sorry for the loss of our precious Rex. My prayers are with you and your children. Rex was more my brother than my cousin. My most cherished memories of time spent with Rex were when I was expecting Jan and I lived with Aunt Glad. Rex would come down and we would all laugh and have such fun. He and Pat would take me to the Dairy Queen and we would all get milk shakes. What fun we had. I wish at times that I could go back and have those precious moments again. I love you and I know how much he will be missed. All my love Judy
Kemmy and Donna and Girls, We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. With Love and Peace, Tommy and Virginia , Jordan and Tyler
