Corey,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad’s passing. I did not know him, but judging from this obituary, he was a great man. Nothing impresses me more than a man who is fully dedicated to his family and his community. I can now start to see where you get your strong character from. Although I do not know them, please offer your mother and sisters my condolences as well.

Dot, I can’t believe I won’t be seeing Norman’s smiling face every Thursday night. I used to really enjoy his stories and will miss him. I know how close you were as a married couple. You could just see it between you. I am so sorry for you and your family.

Mrs. Maynard (a.k.a. Mrs. Mayyyyynerrrrrrrrrrrd),
I am greatly saddened at the throught of Mr. Maynard’s passing. I have so many happy memories of both of you from my childhood of Spring Flings, etc. There are no words that can express how sad it is and will be to come home and Mr. Maynard will not be there. Like a church column in Saint Joseph’s Church Mr. Maynard always was there.
Mrs. Maynard I have always seen you as a very strong woman. Really and truely a great role model for that annoying little child. I know that though it is hard you, will find the internal strength to keep going. Please know that you have my love and deepest sympathy in this time of great sadness.
