Dear Debbie, Peggy, and Mrs. Sheehan,
We're so sad to read online (we're at our cabin) that your husband and Dad has passed away. I always remember him with a big smile on his face and a happy disposition. Last time I saw him he was having breakfast with my dad and several friends at HyVee....a long time ago. May your many happy memories help you through the tough days ahead...and may God comfort you in your grief.
Love,
Steph & Jim Langston
Geneseo, IL
