Dearest Cindy and family,

So sorry to hear about your Dad. You, your Mom and your family are in our prayers.

"Come to me, all of you who are weary and find life burdensome; I will refresh you, Take my yoke on your shoulders and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart. You will find rest, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light." - Matthew 11:28-30

Take care,

Carol, Don, Ava & Vincent

Dear Margie,

We are going to miss seeing you and Maynard "flying" around the neighborhood in the golf cart! Y'all always brought a smile to our faces! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Rest easy my friend.

I will always cherish the time I spent with Maynard. Whether we were on the golf course, in a cruise ship casino or sitting on a park bench on some Carribean island.

Deborah and I send our deepest condolences to the Laporte family.

Dear Cindy,

It's hard to understand why people are taken from us, but find comfort in knowing you were a special part of such a well-lived life.

Death........ is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for him you know. Because in that other room he will be able to see.

I've had the honor to know this family for quite a few years. I'm a sister-in-law to Cindy, which I love dearly. I know how close you was to your dad, and my heart goes out to you and all the LaPorte family for your loss. I'm so grateful I got to be with him for the Christmas Day dinner last year.. He was always a sweet, and funny man that loved his family and friends and the gust for life in general.. God surely has an angel on his shoulder now, and will continue to watch over his loved ones.. because that's what he did best. He will be truely missed!
