Kathy,
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that I and many of your classmates are praying for you and your family. May the Lord give you peace and comfort, as you work through the grieving process. In time, the pain will lessen, but I know that it will never completely go away. But when the times of pain come, try to focus on the happy memories that you have had over these last 50 years, and focus on them.
God bless you all. I hope you can feel my hugs through this note.

Dear Deana and Kathryn,
Ann and I fondly recall your Mom and Dad. Ann sang with them in the Baptist Temple choir, then when Hollis Johnston retired, Elaine became director. I first met them when I came to the BT in Dec. 1982. I became organist full time in 1984. Larry & Elaine held an engagement party for us before our wedding in May 1984. They were both so thoughtful. Sorry we could not attend the funeral. We were able to attend Larry&s calling a few years ago, the last time we visited with Elaine.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, even though we cannot be with you in person.
-Bob & Ann Moore
