Please find comfort in the promise from God that he will resurrect our loved ones, John 5:28.

Dear Sandy,
I must apologize that my brothers and I are unable to place how we know you. Perhaps you knew my father and none of us has met you personally. Please advise how you know us so we may appropriately thank you.

Deepest sympathy
Sorry to hear of Ray's passing. He always had a smile and would make me laugh when I was his neighbor years ago in Christiana. I know he is in a better place now reunited with Rosalie. I extend my condolences to Darla, Dale, Brian and the rest of the Chesnet family.
Thank you
Dear Tara,
Thanks so much for your kind words. Mom and Dad loved having you and your Mom and Dad for neighbors - and me too, especially. I am in town staying at the house while Brian, Dale and I go through the house and settle the estate. As you can imagine it is a hurculean task. Feel free to call me if you have time. I'll be in town sorting and packing at least all next week. It would be good to see you if we can arrange it. Give my best to your Mom and Dad. My best to you and Natalie always.
Love,
Darla
