Faye & family
I am sorry for your loss. I worked with "Woody" at Graco for five years in early sixties. He was a wonderful friend--a real gentleman.
May God grant you His Peace.

Woody and Susan,
We are sorry for your loss and hope you will find comfort in knowing others care and are near in thought.
Bruce and Connie Thornton
Bonnie,
We were so sorry to learn of your Dad's passing. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
We only met he and your Mom one time. That was
when we bought the camping trailer from them.
We had a fairly long visit. They seemed to be great people. They made us feel very welcome.
If there is anything at all we can do for you, please let us know.
May God Bless You.
Love in Christ,
Ed and Marsha Bland
