Jack and I send our deepest condolences to all of you. We knew your parents well as we went to school at Skyline/Hickory County R1. I didn’t have either for a teacher, but Jack had them both in 1958 and 59. I filled in as a secretary in 1960 for awhile as Lois was expecting and had the new baby. I was a senior and the school asked me to help in the office for a little while. I even babysat you kids for a few times. Your dad was also my Sunday School teacher. Blessings on you and God give you comfort. We still live in the general area.
