Dear Darlo,

Have been away for 3 weeks on vacation and just happened to see my email from Shirley while away and was so very very shocked to hear of Ronnie's passing. He will be missed. We all shared so many many great high school memories. Kids today don't get to have those fun times like we all had. You both were two of my favorite people and I shall always remember all the wonderful times we shared in school.

Your are in my prayers. Love, Nancy Ann

Dear Darlo and family,
I just learned of Ronnie's death. I have been in the hospital and rehab from spinal surgery and have not had access to a computer until I returned home and received the bad news from Shirley Jackson Uber. I know that the loss must be unbearable for you and the family. Please take comfort in knowing that he is at rest. He will be missed at our class of '51 reunions. He always played a large part in its success each year. Peace be with you and yours, Garnett

To the entire Webb Family,

I was so saddened this morning to hear the news about Mr. Webbs passing.

I have so many fond memories of time spent with Mr. Webb; going to Richmond Braves baseball games, a car show where Mike and I saw "Kit" from Knight Rider and being so welcomed on trips to Nags Head and South Dakota in spite of being a UVA fan.

Time and distance have unfortunately limited our communication, but please know that you are all still very much with me and in my prayers.

Love,
Brian Grimmer
