Chip and Angie, My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time of sorrow. I know what it is like to lose a father but it does get easier each day but the hurt never goes away. Be strong in your faith and God will get you by. I did not know Mr. Cail but I know he had to be a good man. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Sherri Burnsed Connolly

Cass and Bill, I was so sorry to hear of your father's passing. I remember him fondly as a scholar and a gentleman. He was always very warm and kind to me. I remember long ago, although it seems like yesterday sometimes- when my own father passed. You and Uncle Bill were right there for us all. You were so kind to me in particular. You came up to me when I was sobbing and stroked my hair. It was so comforting and it was something I never forgot. If I had a wish- it would be if there were some way I could send the same sort of comfort and care that you showed me on that day and in that moment- so that you can wrap it around your heart and soul and it could help you at this tough time. I read through your father's life- and indeed what a wonderful man he was! What a colorful and exciting man he was! I read through all of his proud children and grandchildren & great and great-great grandchildren! How phenomenal! Please accept condolences from Tore & I and Aunt Carolyn to you & your entire family. We have been thinking about you over these several weeks quite a lot. Please know also, as always, we love you very much. God bless you- Love, Nora, Tore & Branwen Freja Hauge & Carolyn T Dial

I regret to say I cannot attend the services for Ken. I recently had surgery which prevents me from paying my respects to one of our professions finest people. It is truly my belief that lawyers like Ken will not be seen again. He had compassion and zeal for his clients that are missing so often from lawyers today.He was always willing to help someone regargless of the size of a 'fee' or for no fee at all if he believed the person needed help.I cannot remember him ever without a smile or cheerful word for me. I am truly sorry I will not ever see him again, but I am extremely honored to have had the pleasure of knowing him while he was on this earth.My familys prayers will be with yours during this time of mourning.
