    Karen,
    I am so sorry to hear about your father’s death. What a blessing to have enjoyed such a rich, long life. You are a wonderful person Karen and I am sure this can be attributed to your upbringing from your parents. My sympathy to you and your family. I find comfort in recalling scriptures like John 5:28,29 at times of grief. Knowing that Jehovah God promises to comfort us in our tribulation 2 Corinthians 1: 3,4. My thoughts are prayers are with you and your family.

    My sympathy goes to the family. I am Dorothy’s step-daughter. I knew Bob and Pauline, they lived next to my aunt & uncle on 1st Street.

    We live in the house on Elmwood Dr. where Bob & Pauline lived many years ago. Pauline would always talk to us about her memories of living there when we would see them around Frankfort. We, also, knew Pauline from when we worked at National Seal in the late 1960s. God bless your hearts during this time of sorrow.

    Dear Sue and Karen,
    So sorry to hear of your father’s passing. He was my last uncle. I have memories of him that go back many years. He was very athletic. I remember him walking on his hands for a block in front of the house on Boone Street and helping pick up the change that fell from his pockets. I have fond memories of day trips with him, your mother, and Ma and Pa in his Packard back in the fifties. He had a great life. May his memory comfort you in this grieving time. My condolences to all the family.
    Love,
    LeMoyne
