To Mema, Nancy, and our children with sympathy. Night falls, yet day dawns to replace it... Grief comes, yet time will ease the pain... Life ends, but death cannot erase it... In memory, love will always remain. Tonight when you look up dont think of them as stars but as porch lights welcoming our loved one home. we love you all Dan and Jean mama

Dear Mrs. Anderson & Family, Richard finished a job at our house right before he left on his trip. He spent time talking with us about how much he loved being with his wife, how well they got along and how much he loved riding his motorcycles. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
