Love Your Daughter Connie
It’s been many years since I have seen all of you but I have fond memories of your family.
Especially Leslie coming to our house to see my youngest sister Kathy and inquiring if ” her can come out and play”.
Your Dad was a fine man who loved his family with all his heart.
May his soul find peace in the arms of his savior.
Beverly
As my sister Beverly said although we have not seen each other for many years we have many wonderful memories of times spent with your family in KC and Dallas.
Joe was such a nice man and I liked him so very, very much. So kind and gentle. As well as Leslie coming to play with me,( I was the “her”), I remember your dad’s nickname for your mom.
I pray that God will be very close to all of you and comfort you at this time and in the future.
God bless you all.
Kathy and Jim Ridley
