My condolences to the family of Vita. She was a lovely lady that I admired greatly. She fondly called me Casserole because I was always there for Tuna and Noodles which were the best. My boyfriend Michael Maddy always had a huge garden and took her many vegetables for her recipes which she always enjoyed. She also occasionaly would come over and swim. Great times. May she rest in peace.

Dear Hank and Family Members,

My heartfelt sympathy to you upon Rick's passing. Fondly known to me for so many years as "the Governor," Rick was the one who always lit up the room. He was always the consummate gentleman. Better yet, a gentle man.

I'll never forget all the good times, especially with his beloved horse Awlsum. It was a great run.

I will be over to Quint's on Monday to see you.

Fond regards and love,

Don

Mary,

I am sending my prayers and sympathy to you and your family. Had hoped to see you and the children again as so many years have passed. I feel your sadness and loss, as I experienced this four years ago this month with Tom. May God be with all of you, at this time and in the future.

I'm not sure I can make it out with this weather. I remember the fun times we had together, back when...your children were babies.

My phone number is 771-0971. I seem to have misplaced yours. Would love to hear from you.

Fondly,
Violet Lamb, your old neighbor
