No words, just thoughts of love for this wonderful God loving family. I will miss my neighbor of many years, stopping by to say hi while he sat in the back yard under the shade tree with Sunny, or watching while he worked in the yard and the garden, loving nature and his family, and the music you would play. Inky may you rest in peace, Thanks for the memories. I will forever remember you when my buttercups you gave me bloom every spring.

Sending love, hugs and prayers in this time of sorrow. Inky was a good friend to us and especially Larry. He will be greatly missed, but, we have the assurance of knowing we will see him again one day and he will be pain free.

Hi Jo, 

My condolences go to you and your family in the passing of your husband. I am sure your love and devotion provided much peace and comfort to him as his health declined. It was a blessing that you were able to be there for him when he needed you the most. My prayer is that in the days, weeks and months ahead that you and your family will hold onto God's promise that "as your days, so shall your strength be" (Deuteronomy 33:25). From one home girl to another, peace and blessings,

Love,
Mary Tripp
