Dear Bryan, I am so deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Please accept my apologies for not being able to attend. Now that I'm living out of state, I just found out about this. I was there for you when your Mother passed, and I was very heart broken to hear about this. Please extend our love and deepest sympathy to your family. Tell the boys, Christopher is thinking of them. You and your family are on my prayer list at our church. With Love, Lynn Williams.

Bryan,

I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. You may remember that I lost my dad last year (July 15th). Yesterday when I visited his grave I noticed that your mom is burried just one over from daddy. I said a special prayer for you and your family. Who knows maybe our parents will become friends in heaven! I'm thinking of you, Phyllis Hoffman Floyd

Ready to soar

and take God's hand,

to join his beloved wife,

Evelyn, once again.



Just as they have

in years gone by,

with their spirits in the wind

they are now free, to fly.



Looking down upon,

this earthly land,

watching over their children,

as best they can.



As heaven has gained

An Endless Love

that shall always be remembered

by the presence of a Dove.



In Loving Memory of Bill & Evelyn



With all our love and support for the family,we remain yours.

Sincerely, The Garners

Linda, Bryan,MaryDon,and the rest of the Laughlin family, please accept my deepest sympathy in the death of your beloved father. I know this journey has been a struggle and the road has been even longer, but just know "that to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord." Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal" Bryan, you and your family will be in our daily prayers and thoughts. Trent,you and Brice,keep your head up guys, your grandfather wouldn't want you'll to be sad. Linda, you know how bossy your mommy was, always bosing your daddy, ( smile ) well now she can do it all over again. Just know that you'll are in my thoughts and I enjoyed getting to know the family, starting with Evelyn, ( or sometimes the days when she was Dorothy ) having cared for your mom and your dad, provided me the opportunity to get to know some of you'll and I've enjoyed every minute of it. May God continue to bless you'll and know that he shall wipe all tears away.

Sincerely,



Dee DeWese ( stags)
