I know your dad and brother will be sadly missed.  He worked on Clay and Armilda Tiltion's land and that is where I met him.  I thought he was a good man.  After Clay left, he still helped mother quite a bit. We had one good laugh when my sister, who knows nothing about farming, thought he should give mother a cost of living raise.  That was the joke of the year.  We know, farmers nerver get a cost of living raise.  You all have my condolences in your lost.  Just know that he is with your mom and they are happy.

I really wanted to come to the calling hours last night, but had too many other prior obligations that I couldn't change.  I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of all of you and keeping you in my prayers.  His legacy lives strong in the wonderful children and grandchildren.  Peace.
