Dave & Family, I work with Dave at Dee Printing. I feel he is a good friend. I, too, have had my mother and mother-in-law pass on in the last 2 years. But, I feel that they have gone to a happier, healthier place in heaven with no pain, worries and to be playing with their family and friends that have gone before. Remember the good, fun and happy times. For this should be a celebration of her life. So very sorry, Jo Packard and husband, Howland

Dear Dave, Roxane and Family,
I am so saddened to hear of your mother's passing. I met your mother only once when she and Roxane came to vist us at Dee Printing in Columbus, but was elated to have met her. She was a fine lady who loved life! I am only saddened that she could not have been with us longer. She is now with her Heavenly Father with no pain.    Keep her memory strong and to the forefront of your life.
You are in our prayers,
Sandra, Don, Sarah, and
Anna Mathews

The Ballinger Family,

I just heard this morning about your mother in-law / grandmother.  I wanted to send my condolences and tell you that I am sorry for your loss.  I haven't talked with any of you in some time and hope everyone is doing well and the kids are growing like weeds!

Kristen, if you need anything at all, please feel free to call, or even if you just want to talk.  I have moved from Richwood and am now living in Delaware, but my phone number is still the same.  (614) 270-2085.

With deepest sympathy,

Nikki

My sincere sympathy goes to all of you.  Your mom/grandmother was a very special lady.  I was honored a few years ago to wear her dress from Roxanne and Jeff's wedding in the style show at the church.  I am sorry I will not make the calling hours but wanted to express my condolances to you all.

I had the wonderful privilege as a kid to grow up with "Mrs Ballinger" as my next door neighbor.  I remember hot summer afternoons drinking a soda or eating ice cream on her back porch.  I will alway remember her as one of the kindest people I have ever known.  My prayers are with her family.

We were very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother.  Mrs. Ballinger was our neighbor and Roxane you might remember my little girls bringing your mother cookies this past Christmas.  I'm so glad they had the privilage to meet & visit with you and your mother.  When I told them about Mrs. Ballinger you were the first person they asked about.  Emily said, "I wonder how her daughter is" and Elyssa (the youngest) said, "why do people have to die"?  We will miss knowing she is next door.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Angie

We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. The Rayls and Ballingers virtually grew up together, and the stories of our parents are the stuff of legends. They had a wonderful relationship and set a great example of friendship for us all. Let's hope they're together right now, planning their next party.
All my thoughts and prayers, Julie (Rayl) Pompa
