Madeline, Sally, John, Jerry

Madeline, Sally, John, Jerry and families - My sincere sympathies in your loss of a great guy. I have many fond memories of coming to the farm as a child and being given the "tour" by Anson. Most recently we enjoyed the time chatting the day we stopped by this summer. He is probably calling the square dances in heaven right now. May your memories make the days a bit brighter and your faith keep you focused on the life is in now in where we will all meet again some day. God bless you all!

Madeline, Sally, John, Jerry and families - We sympathize in your loss of a great guy. I have many fond memories of him when we visited Cameron Co. as a child and the most recent was this past summer when we stopped by the house and had a delightful time there that day. I know Mom (Shirley) treasured their relationship as he was the closest thing to a brother she had. He is probably calling the square dances in heaven right now! May your memories make the days a bit more bright and your faith keep you ever focused on the life he is in now. God bless!
