Pat, Holland and Marty,

I was saddened to hear about the loss of Mr. Postell. I will always have fond memories of Mr. Postell especially going out to eat barbeque with him. He always made sure they left a pitcher of sweet tea at the table. My thoughts are with each of you and if you ever need anything, please let me know.

Pat, Marty and Holland,

We just heard about your loss of Marvin and are so sorry to hear of your loss. We regret we did not know and were unable to extend our condolences to each of you in person on this most difficult of days and attend the funeral today.
Marvin was a special person, as are all of you, to us. Your extension of hospitality and friendship to our family when we moved to the area will never be forgotten. We drifted apart as Holland and Brent went away to college but we never forgot your kindness and the fun we had attending football games with you and Marvin.

We'll be in touch and hope to see you soon.

Again our condolences go out to each of you.

Barbara and Don Garraghty

Holland, Marty and Pat,
I always loved your dad/husband. It was impossible not to smile when around him. My prayers are with you.

Im not a "brass ankle" by the way and don't know why he always called me that.
