Randy,

Roxanne and I are so sorry to hear about your father. I get off work too late to make it out to the funeral home before 8pm but I wish you peace as you go through this very hard process. When my father died it brought me comfort to know he had gone to a much better place and was no longer in pain. I do hope that when things calm down this thought will also bring you comfort as well. Again, our sympathies to you and your family.

Aunt Kay and Randy:
Just wanted to let you both know that Uncle Linwood Earl will NEVER be forgotten. Before he got sick, he had the most happy,and uplifting attitude than anyone i know. The roaring engines have taking him away,and he will be leaving alot of people very lonely. But i will always try to remember him by his love for music,and his singing. I'll miss the person that he used to be

Dear Randy & Kay:

Please know you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Take solace knowing that God is with him as well as others who have gone before him. He is at peace now after a long and well-fought battle. God and his angels will look after him and he feels no pain.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I'll see you soon.

God Bless you all,
Tamara

Kay and family we are so sorry to hear of your loss. You have both been such good friends to Christine and Harold and we all truly treasure the companionship that you all shared. I know that Linwood fought a strong battle and is now at peace. We all know only too well the loss you are feeling but there is comfort in knowing that they are no longer suffering and he has lots and people in heaven who will continue to look after him there. Mom loved you all very much and I'm sure she is wrapping her arms around you and your family during this hard time. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
