We have both lost good men and it seems so sad to go on without them. It won't be long before I join them in the family circle, can hardly wait to see them again. God be with you and console you and all your extended family. Love cousin Tillie and family - Posted by: Tillie Kramer (via her daughter Dorothy Webb) (Cousin) on: Feb 14, 2012

My sympathy goes out to Meta and family on the passing of your loved one. My memories of Richard will always be that he had the brightest smile and his great happiness to see anyone who came to visit. I will always have fond memories of our family's visits to your farm and your warm hospitality. May you rest in peace always! - Posted by: Gladys Hein (Second Cousin) on: Feb 13, 2012
