    Dear John, May God rest your soul. I was your “Meals on Wheels” lady every Thursday and Friday. You always had a smile on your face every time you came to the door, even though some days you were not feeling well. I will miss you. I will still drive by your house every Thursday and Friday as I deliver a meal to your next door neighbor, Phyllis, and I will give you a wave. Sincerely, Anne Hunt May you rest in peace.

    I wish I could be there to say goodbye to my grandfather, and I am saddened that I am unable to be. He will be greately missed by several just as he was loved by several. He was a great man for his children and the community. I’m glad I was able to know him for the time I have. My greatest sympathy for my Father, Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins that were close to him.

    I was so glad that I was able to know him. He was always upbeat when he came to shop. He will be missed but also remembered many times through the years for all that he has done.
