Mr. Sisson was a wonderful man. I enjoyed hearing about his talents like cooking and gardening. He fought his disease like a true gentleman. I send sincere sympathy to the dear family of this loving man and to Elizabeth as well.

Erma,

Words alone cannot express my sympathy to you for your great loss. He was such a wonderful, kind and gentle man. He was there for his family and friends. I know first hand, how you and he moved in with me for a week to help me pack my house to move and get ready for not one but 3 yard sales.

Then after moving-you two wonderful friends came back and stayed another week and helped me unpack. Also Boyd measured and hung every picture in my home and put up and attached the book cases to the wall. He did so many things for me. I am sorry I didn't
realize, just how sick he was, in his last days, so I could have come and spent time with you two.
My prayers are with you, Susan, Michael and Allen, as well as the grandchildren.
Your Friend
