To Mrs. Full's children...Roger and I were very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She and your dad were great neighbors and we have missed them. May you find comfort in knowing that they are now together again. I didn't know about your mom's passing until the family gathered at the house on Friday. It was nice to see children running about and family and friends enjoying the beautiful place your parents worked so hard to create. We look forward to having Paul and Vickie as neighbors soon.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you,
Roger and Carol Fisher

Dearest Cousins, Several family memebers called me to let us know about your mom's passing. Aunt Jenny was always special to us. A beautiful lady inside and out. My mom is in a nursing home now but we told her about it. She said she said prayers for all of you kids too. Time and distance separates the Full's but please know we care about all of your family. Love to all of you.

To all the children of Virginia Full. I am saddened to read about Aunt Jenny. She was a person I always enjoyed being around during those few times we were able to get together as a family. She and Uncle Harley were a great couple.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. I pray that God gives you strength to get through the next few days and weeks and the peace that only He can give in knowing that Aunt Virginia is at rest after a long battle with this terrible disease. May it bring you comfort knowing that her participaation in the IU study may lead to a cure or better yet a way to prevent AD. With love and sympathy, Susie Kittle Norris and family

My heart goes out to you at this very difficult time. It is so hard to lose a parent, especially to this terrible disease. May God bless and keep Aunt Virginia. May she now be in a clear and peaceful place. And, may the peace of Christ be with you, her family and loved ones, that His love and promise of salvation comfort you now. With love and sympathy, Kathee Pierce (Bill's youngest) & family
