Just a short note to express my Deepest Sympathy to your family. I would have liked to attend the services today, however my wife passed away just three weeks ago today and I am not ready mentally to do another funeral at this time. I hope you will understand. I have fond memories of J.T. and Marilyn from the days when I was a small boy growing up in Pendleton and visiting Uncle Elvin and Aunt Essie and being there with J.T. and his family. May God Bless each of the family members and give you comfort during this difficult time. Post a condolence
