Dear Mrs. Hughes,Debbie and Michele, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of yet another GoldenRod alum. I don't know if you remember my family just up the street ( Paul and Lorriane Rhodes), but I know my parents thought a lot of your family and will always remember your kindness and fun times. I lost my dad in January of 2011 and still miss him dearly. How lucky we were to grow up in that neighborhood and hometown of ours. Here's to remembering a life well lived! My sincere sympathy, Sharon Rhodes Kavanagh

Dear Ramona and family,
I could hardly believe it when I saw that Ron had passed away. I was so glad I went to the NARCO Christmas party at the Phillips to see both of you. Ron was a really great boss to work for at NARCO and he was the first one to guess I was pregnant with my first one. He will always hold a special place in Jim's and my heart as Jim also worked with him also. My prayers for comfort to you.
Sincerely,
Rita and Jim Taylor
