Dear Judy and Doreen, I was saddened to see that your dad and husband has passed away. It sounds as though he had a very full and happy life. It is hard to believe the babies you used to talk about are now parents, too. I remember Doreen’s cookies and Judy, I’m sure your growing family has been a blessing to your dad. Doreen, 64 years is a pretty good run. A very fortunate man indeed. My thoughts and prayers are with you today. With Christian love, Norma Hale (your old nail lady)
Dear Doreen, Judy and family, Just a note to express my sincere sympathy and condolences on the loss of your Husband and Father and to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Doreen & family: I was sorry to hear that Harvey passed away. I lost my husband, Floyd (Willie) Williamson on July 25, 2008, so I know what you are all going through. It is so hard to let them go and you miss them terribly. They say time will help, and I sure hope so. Dottie Williamson, 263-2476.
Dear Doreen and family, I am sorry to hear of your loss. I will be remembering you in my thoughts and prayers.
