We are friends with Lester and his family, getting together occasionally, over the years, and I just want to send my condolences and feelings of regret to them in the loss of their father.
At some point (years ago), our paths crossed in that we had formal introductions with Lesters parents, and enjoyed their company.
We do plan to attend the Memorial, paying our respects to the family.
May Kyle be in a better place.
Sincerely,
Bill and Jackie
We missed sending you a note when your Mom passed so this note is for both of them. Until Joanne saw your Dad’s age, she did not realize your parents were so much younger than George and Violet. Theresa told me about his fall and hospitalization. It does not make it any easier. We know you miss them both, but now they are together again. You Dad was such a self made man, having the apartment house for so many years, and Violet Pomeroy loved meeting your Mom at the Department store where she worked. I remember when your Dad got out of the Navy, your family stayed at our house when we went to California or South Dakota for a week or so. That was a long time ago. Keep in touch.
To the Gamet Family,
My deepest condolences over the loss of your father. May God grant you peace during this difficult time. Galatians 1:3. May you find strength in the promise of the resurrection. John 11:11, 21-26; Revelation 21:3,4; Matthew 5:5. Heartfelt prayers are with you.
