Stacy and Zack.

Even though you don't know me, I wanted to express my condolences and prayers for your loss. I am a distant cousin of yours on the Smith side, first cousin of your mom. I know what you are going through as I lost my husband at 51 years old of a heart attack. Life becomes different, but in time manageable. Know that I will think of you and your family and pray for Gods love to surround you.

Dear Larry and Ellen,
I was so sorry to read about your loss of Danny. Seems like just yesterday when Doug and Judy and I were so involved with the Hipps family. Have been in Dallas now for 26 years so it's hard to keep up. Just wanted you all to know that you and the family are in my prayers and thoughts through this time.
Much love to all,
Kenney Ballowe

Dear Larry and Ellen

My heart goes out to you and all your family. I did not know your son but in reading the obituary, he sounded like a great person in all his activities and successful job. I know you were proud of him. God bless you because I know how bad death hurts but losing a child is beyond my feelings. I love my old school mates and I am praying for your recovery of this sad happening.
