Dear Anthony and Children, You are very much in my thoughts at this time and I hope you will be good to yourself now and do whatever is needed to help you get through the days ahead.If you need to share a silent hug, my shoulder is always yours. If you need me I'm here for you, It's not for me or anyone else to tell you how you should grieve. If you want to talk about your feelings, I'm here to listen. Love you all very much.

To Anthony and family: I worked with your dad in the P. E. Dept at Dobyns Bennett and knew your mother. We had some great times together and I am so sorry for your loss. They were special people and I am glad to have had the pleasure of knowing them. My condolences to you and your family. Suzie Waller, former physical education teacher at DB.
