Dear Mrs. McGraw and Joni,
How fondly I remember spending time with you all. Riding with Mr. McGraw in his car and playing scrabble at your home. He was always such a sweetheart to me, as were you all. Thank you so much for those times and your kindness to our family.
Mr Mrs Gene Duffer says
Dearest Bettye, Our heart goes out to you at your loss. We feel we have lost a dear friend too. We came to know Chet better at our Life Group and we feel the Life Group will truly miss him as we will, and we know you will too. However, we know the Lord has welcomed him to his new home, and the time will come when we all join him. Love and Blessings. Gene & Shirley

Dearest Bettye:
I am so sorry this condolence is so late, but I just found out about Chet when I was called to attend this month’s BYF. I would have been at that funeral if only I had known. It was always a treat to talk to Chet at the luncheons, and he always had something funny to say. And he had the best Nurse in the world during his last few years in YOU. Bless you for taking such good care of him. I’ll surely miss him, as I know you will also. Again, I am sorry so for your loss.
