To the Shearer family,
Bob we were so sorry to see the passing of your mother. I know what a wonderful and fun person she was as well as caring and thoughtful.
It was certainly a priviledge to know her and
know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
Mother also sends her condolence to you and the family. She said you had stopped by to see her and Daddy last year and had a nice visit. It has been 6 wks since Daddy passed away and we are still trying to get through this difficult situation.
May God Bless you and yours.

Lowell and Sharon Sherer

We were saddened to hear of your Mother's passing, she and your father Chuck were our dear friends. When they had the Insurance Office beside Otto's dental office we spent many evenings having dinner together. How much fun we had was always a treat because your parents were delightful to be around. We sure missed them after your Dad passed away. We would see your Mother but not as often as we'd like to have. I'm sure you miss them both. May God be with you and your family. Otto and Mary Howell
