Dick, Linda, Randy and Lisa,
I am so sorry for the loss of your dad and granddad. I remember Mr. Markle as always being a very nice man. He was always friendly when he was over at your place when I was around as a kid. And then later after we moved away and we lived right across the street from him for a few months. He was always such a nice person. I hope you can find peace knowing that he is in a better place now. I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and wish I was there to offer each and every one of you a hug.
Tony

Oh Hazel, I am so sorry to hear. I am sitting here trying to find the words of what you two have always meant to me through the years. You were always considered to be my second parents and were always there. The memories that I have of my childhood are filled with such wonderful thoughts of the Hughes and Markle foursome and what warm memories that are to me. I will cherish both of you forever! You are in my prayers Hazel and I hope my health will allow me to be there Saturday. I will always love you my dear and god be with you at this unbelievably trying time. All my love,
Sheila.
PLEASE don't hesitate to call if you would happen to need anything, but I know you are in very good hands with your family.

Grandpa,
I will miss your crooked smile, the way you whistled when you were content, the way you looked at grandma with such love and admiration, your gruff exterior with your soft heart, your hugs, and last but not least, the way you always told me you loved me before I left. I thought you would live forever, but the Lord needed you and it was time for you to go. Until we meet again, its not goodbye, but see you later.
With all my love,
Sissy
